      No. There are lots of guidelines you need to follow when doing any experiment in order to minimise the risk of injury to you or another person working in the lab. Unfortunately a lot of these guidelines will have been learnt the hard way.

      In my sort of work, the experiments involve lots of chemicals, so lab coats and disposable gloves.

      Hi Mahaiden,

      Thankfully – no! But there is little chance of injury in the field I work in 🙂
