Eric A Cornell
Hi,
Cornell was one of the two scientists to first create a B-E condensate, and while watching him on the doco I noticed he did not seem to have a left shoulder.
I had not caught anything in the narration so I looked him up and indeed he does not, nor a left arm!!
He lost these to necrotizing fasciitis in 2004, the flesh-eating bug!! What an ordeal. He is recovering apparently and describes it as "more of an inconvenience than a catastrophe". Amazing.
Cheers
