Preserving Genius: The Strange Tale of Einstein's Brain
Genius, the path to becoming genius can be a harrowing task...well, what if you have lived your life, been gifted with the powers of genius. This ability has allowed you to bring forth things to the world, otherwise would have never been explored. People celebrate your life, your contributions to the world are endless...then one day, sadly, it must come to an end...and well, you die.
This, my podcast fans is exactly what happened to Einstein's brain, not only did Albert Einstein have a harrowing journey in his life, while his brain was still slapping around in his cranium...but then his brain continued to carry on this harrowing journey in a jar, for over 50 years. Why you ask, simply put his brain was taken by a man obsessed with the powers of genius...we take you on the journey of Einstein's brain...snatched from his skull by pathologists Thomas Stoltz Harvey in 1955...man have we got a tale to tell!
This is the crazy story of the travels of Einstein's brain after it was removed from his skull during an autopsy...airport security, cracker boxes, trunk of a car, Canada, and it just keeps going. Grab your lab coat, a hot tea, and dive on in, this story gets freaking crazy!
