I was stumbling around the internet earlier today, and I came across an Atlas Obscura article profiling the videos of this scientist who just, like, kicks around Chernobyl and Pripyat, looking for radioactive things. 

THIS IS INSANE. Every video she has is the first act of a horror movie. And they’re all fascinating! Such a crazy opportunity to see something that I would never in a million years have the guts to do. 

YOU SHOULD ALL WATCH THIS!

(One of my favorite quotes from the article I read--http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-woman-who-ate-chernobyl-s-apples--is “The woman, known only as ‘BioNerd23′...” which is, like, the most cyber-punk thing I’ve ever heard.)

Nothing is too radioactive or risky for her. She has shown herself getting injected with the radionuclide technetium, eating radioactive apples from a tree in Chernobyl, being chased by a possibly rabid fox, and picking up fragments of the nuclear plant’s reactor fuel with her bare hands. When a freakishly large catfish appears on camera, she calmly explains that it’s probably not a mutant—“They are just that way because nobody catches them,” she says in a video, watching a six-foot-long catfish, eerily like a shark, swim around a murky pool of water. 

Here’s her YouTube channel [x]

'Xenon element sample, critical temperature and aggregate state change'

Watch how the xenon changes from liquid to gaseous fog, almost instantaneously! I'd never seen this before :-)
