I Love the “Mad Scientist / Wacky Professor” Expression on This Guy’s Face

Click the photo to see it at full size.

I love this photo — it’s a 1953 picture of Princeton prof Hubert Alyea doing a demonstration during a talk about the chemistry of the atomic bomb. There’s nothing like a professor who throws in a little pyrotechnics to liven up a lecture.

Thanks to Jason Rhode for the find!
