Today’s Leinster story was first published in Thrilling Wonder Stories in June 1949 on page 128, The Life–Work of Professor Muntz by Murray Leinster… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Beneath the dust of a college museum stands a statue too lifelike to be mere art—Professor Thomas Kelvin, transformed by a strange and deadly fate.
