      I once burnt off some of my hair with a Bunsen burner during GCSE chemistry, if that helps.

      Amazingly I haven’t injured myself or others given that I’m quite clumsy – putting a Ti rotor of an ultracentrifuge out of action for three weeks is probably the worst thing I’ve done (it’s pretty bad) but I’ve never encountered injuries.

      Not seriously but like Michael I am a little clumsy so I have bashed into a few pieces of equipment around the lab.
