⚛️ Letzte Woche hatte mein Physik-LK die Möglichkeit an der Master Class zum Michelson-Interferometer an der @tubraunschweig teilzunehmen.
Selbst aufgebaut, kalibriert und gemessen bleibt sicher mehr hängen, als beim Demonstrationsversuch.
Neben der kompetenten Versuchsbetreuung gab es noch eine spannende Laborführung durch das LENA.
Ein sehr gelungener Exkursionstag. 👍

Hood River County - Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
"The health department is investigating three cases of the rare brain disorder Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) in Hood River County. These cases have been found in the past eight months, and at this time, it is not known if the cases are linked. The risk of CJD to the public is extremely low. It cannot be spread through the air, touch, social contact, or water."

Just mentioned BSE and this turns up.
U. Minnesota article states:
"Researchers have identified chronic wasting disease (CWD) prions in raw, cooked, and cured meat from an infected elk in Texas"

Removal of wolves led to deer population explosion in #Japan increasing damage to forests & crops. If prions are found in Japan's deer, hunting deer for deer meat will be out. So, bring back wolves?
One wonders where he would have picked that up, if it were the transmissible form. #prions #cjd
