EEG tip: Alpha waves (8-13 Hz) show up when you're relaxed. Delta waves show up when you're sleeping. And that flat line? That's when your patient unplugged the machine to charge their phone. #EEGProblems

Sadly this is far from confined to Max Planck.
Egomaniacal bullies are sadly rife in academia. There are many academics where their abusive behaviour is an open secret in the community, with v little backlash. Some junior scientists are lucky enough to be warned, but many are not.
