Random WOW: ' Longest Parade of Ants '

Youngest Professor

Picture a professor.
The image forming in your mind is no doubt of an old wrinkly man, with grey hair, glasses, and he is going "ERGH ERGH ERGH!" (choking on an apple).

On the whole, this is accurate. A recent survey has proven that the vast majority (93%) of professors are old, do wear glasses and might choke if you force them to eat an apple.

But what of the remaining 7%? What do those professors look like?

I can't describe all of them, obviously. But I can tell you more about one in particular, a professor who stands out due to one anomalous attribute - his age!

Yes, Dean Chambers, Professor of Chemical Analysis at the University of Chessington is the youngest professor in the world: aged just 15 years old!
I asked Professor Chambers what is was like to be younger than his own students, but got the phone number wrong, and somehow ended up ordering a coffee table from Debenhams.

WOW!
