People Who Studied Abroad #102:Tycho Brahe, astronomer From: Denmark (Scania, where Brahe came from, is in modern-day Sweden but was part of Denmark at the time) Studied: Studied at University of Rostock in Germany (which is where he lost part of his nose in a duel). I know how all you kids today want to emulate Tycho Brahe, but don’t duel while studying abroad! Shiny silver nose prostheses are probably not covered by your insurance.
