02/11/2025 | Day 36 of 82 Days of Productivity 🍁🌙🥧🍂☕️🕯

Today is all about diving into literature about the prelimbic cortex. I kind of missed learning, because most of my time has been taken up by experiments. At the same time, it’s really important to know what’s happening in my field — especially since I’m dangerously close to my presentation and, in a year, my thesis writing. I have to condition myself back into learning and writing so that when the time comes, I can do it with ease and less anxiety.

In the afternoon, I’m going to stop by my landlady’s because next week I’ll be babysitting her cat, and then head to the lab to prepare some stuff for next week’s behavioral experiments. And the evening is going to be about meal prepping for next week and calling my friend from Munich.

I think the most incredible thing about the guy who accidentally put his head in a particle accelerator is not the fact that it happened, or the fact that he survived, its the fact that after getting blasted with a wave of protons traveling at 99% the speed of light and seeing “the light of a thousand suns” he just quietly left the room, went about his day, and went home without telling anyone. Really just speedran the five stages of grief and arrived at the attitude of “welp, whatever happens next happens.”

Screencap ID: Doctors expected him to die, but he survived with severe but non-fatal injuries. The left half of Bugorski's face swelled up beyond recognition and, over the next several days, the skin started to peel, revealing the path that the proton beam had burned through parts of his face, his bone, and the brain tissue underneath.[5] As it was believed that he had received far in excess of a fatal dose of radiation, Bugorski was taken to a clinic in Moscow where the doctors could observe his expected demise. However, Bugorski survived, completed his PhD, and continued working as a particle physicist.[6] There was virtually no damage to his intellectual capacity, but the fatigue of mental work increased markedly.[3] Bugorski completely lost hearing in the left ear, replaced by a form of tinnitus.[3][2] The left half of his face became paralyzed due to the destruction of nerves.[1] He was able to function well, except for occasional complex partial seizures and rare tonic-clonic seizures. The paralyzed side of his face never aged.[a][1] (End)

He's retired but still alive

I'm curious if when they say the paralyzed half of his face "never aged", they mean like the botox effect, or something else.
