      The mouse and keyboard of my laptop… I know, not dangerous at all!

      The Large Hadron Collider should not have any person in the tunnel when it is on. Other than that, no danger at all. Just working at the computer for too long 🙂

      My lab has a great many things that could kill you in any number of exciting ways. I put them together myself, though, so I’m pretty confident nothing will go wrong 😎 Read my profile to find out more!

      The MOST dangerous thing? Probably caesium. It’s the most reactive element which would blow up a bathtub of water. You wouldn’t want to get any on your hand as even touching the moisture of your skin, it would destroy your hand!
