I collect weird scientific objects. This post is about some truly unique material, which will likely never be made again: Between the 1960’s and the 1990’s, a father-son team of Anthony B. Bubenik and George A. Bubenik made and explored a remarkable discovery. They studied deer antlers – huge structures which drop off every year and re-grow. This process is amazing in its own right, because ...
