I am afraid I have to burn you back.
I speak SI, and that is actually the reason, why I questioned the metric on the right. You see, milli Electron Volt per Kelvin is neither a unit of temperature, nor does it make any other sense in this context that I am aware of.
But the thing is I just realized that there is no "Kelvin" on the right side, because the "K" in reality is a "k". Would have been clearer if they had used the subscript k~B~, as in "Boltzmann-Konstante".
Now it makes perfect sense, although it still is a somewhat weird unit to express a human body temperature in...
