Of all the researchers that I have written about this month in my series DOCTORS & SCIENTISTS WHO SELF EXPERIMENTED, this one is probably the one which is saddest of them all. I almost decided to skip it but then pressed the PUBLISH button anyway. If you are happy and do not want to spoil […]
Human fascination for Robots has been evident since a long time. Even before a part human, part robot Arnold Schwarzenegger repeatedly hammed “I’ll be back” in the movie Terminator, scientists all over the world have been trying to develop robots which could work like humans.

One of the reasons why patients can go into and come out of the surgery comfortably is because of advances in general anaesthesia of which Nitrous Oxide gas plays a vital part. Known to the […]
Self-experimentation need not always been painful or gross as we have seen in the previous posts of this month under the title DOCTORS & SCIENTISTS WHO SELF- EXPERIMENTED. Sometimes these experiments have actually given their subjects a high. This is one such experiment. Albert Hofman was a Swiss scientist born in Baden, Switzerland on 11thJanuary 1906. […]
This month my blog is dedicated to Doctors & Scientists Who Self-Experimented. So far, we’ve come across a number of individuals who pushed the boundaries of human endurance for the sake of science. While most of them are indeed commendable, there are those who come across as bizarre. Today we read about one such individual […]
Some people are born to fly, literally. And then there are those who are born to test the speed limit, so that the rest of us can fly safely. Today we read about a man, who willingly put himself in danger of shattering every bone in his body multiple times just so that it would […]
