Lie in bed for 60 days, earn N5m. That’s the job schedule.
Well, no one needs a university degree to qualify.
Nor does anyone lack the requisite experience for a 60-day job that will fetch them a cool and effortless N5m.
Call it the dream job and you’ll be right; because all you need do is to lie down in bed and simply allow scientists to fuss over you! And then the pay cheque greets you ‘Good morning’ on the 60th day!
This is no April Fool gimmick, as the researchers at the Institute for Space Medicine and Physiology in Toulouse, France, have expressed the willingness to pay £13,000 to participants, just to find out the effects of prolonged weightlessness on the body.
It was reported by the French newspaper 20 Minutes.
Half of the participants will take drugs to counteract the effects of weightlessness, while the other group won’t.
The idea is that lying down for that long will mimic the effects of being weightless on the body.
The coordinating doctor, Dr. Arnaud Beck, says, “The idea of this study is to reproduce the weightlessness of the International Space Station, ISS.
“During the first two weeks, our scientists will do a whole series of tests and measurements on the volunteers.
“This will be followed by a 60-day period during which they must remain in bed, the head slightly inclined downwards at less than six degrees.
