The sensor noise would be distributed evenly, and not clustered around the rod like bees.
😂
Why not? Isn’t most of the radiation coming from the rod itself? I’d expect a vertical, high-intensity cloud over the rod, which gets less intense the further it goes to the left and to the right of it.
mmmh good old orphan sources
That’s my favorite brand of suppository!

When doing my NIH traineeship, in the new lab, it came to be my turn to do the monthly radiation inventory. When going down the list, while checking the radio labeled nucleotides and labeled reagents in the freezer etc, I came across an entry for 600 Curies of Co 60! Freaking out I immediately went to the PI and told him about this. He laughed and said someone had to be responsible for the campus radiation source and since our lab used it a lot to make feeder cells, we were the lucky custodians of said source. I did get quite the fright though!
Do you taste metal?
I thought that said “drop and rub” like “you’re probably gonna die the horrific death of radiation poisoning you should just expedite it”
I interpreted it more as “you’re probably gonna die the horrific death of radiation poisoning, you should rub one out for the last time before you go”
he won’t know if he’s cuming or going!
