Creating a hack to enjoy life more
You wouldn’t imagine a tanned, fun-loving surfer when someone is talking about a scientist, would you? It turns out this guy was one of the coolest scientists, not a nerd or boring person, but he also came up with a groundbreaking discovery of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction).
All this just because he wanted to go surfing so he flipped the table and reduced his full-time dull lab job to a few-hour per week job. It benefited him, and his discovery blessed the entire medical science!
