Seeing Your Own Death: The First X-Ray
from Light Your Bunsen Burner · host Mariela Rosas/Jonah Baker
In the late 1800's, a scientist working with cathode tubes observed a bizarre phenomenon: some unknown ray was causing a plate to glow in the dark. His obsessive work ethic and a hand from his wife led to the discovery of X-rays. Join us as we practice our terrible German accents while exposing the history of this revolutionary tool. Also we get a special cameo from a historical hottie.
