I’m more accustomed to the science coming from photon-counting x-ray telescopes, not so much being the target of a photon-counting x-ray microscope, but … 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, a CT scan was just part yesterday’s emergency visit to the urology department of the Heidelberg University Clinic 😬

A pretty miserable way to spend seven hours on a Saturday, so do yourselves a favour:

Drink more water, folks 🚰
No, more than that 🚰🚰
Keep going 🚰🚰🚰✌️
