What's the coolest injury you've ever received for science?

I was electrocuted with arcs searing across my left hand.

>> No.3489422

electrocuted?

i have also got a large shock from a faulty amp, could feel the AC pulsing up my arm and my body went rigid, feelsbadman.

i have a workshop, and i have gotten multiple stab wounds from thing exploding (even plastic containers puncture leather aprons
i have been mostly lucky and everything just hits my ribcage, and you can pull it out (no deep flesh wounds due to protection

Got hit with a pretty heavy metal object right between the eyes, i still have a scar on my nose, very lucky it did not hit my eyes.

Lactophenol on fingers, going to have neuropathy.

At work. Accidentally inhaled experimental anesthetic API, had to lay down in conference room for a while.

In school. Bitten by green vine snake, envenomated, felt woozy and had to lay down. Blacked out, awoke to paramedics in the lab's conference room. I got the best excuse note of all time for missing Orgo Chem lab.

My immunology professor had to go to the hospital for chlamydial pneumonia after a grad student was retarded enough to try to stop a centrifuge with a pair of forceps and broke one of the vials.

inhaled HF and almost lost my lung, luckily they had the correct antibiotics in the first aid kits (because im not the first to stand over the drum apparently)

I only realized how far gone I was when I thought you meant Hartree-Fock instead hydroflouric acid. Good god.

The snake bite was, ostensibly, in his name. I was doing bitchwork as an undergraduate for evolutionary biology research.

The anesthetic was the fault of the guy with me mishandling the microfluidizer. I was the microbiologist, not the production person, I was just offering a helping hand. It wasn't even my job! Still kinda cool, felt super drunk-ish.

>>3489665
Yeah. Hydroflouric acid is nasty shit. Calcium glutamate baby, bathe in that shit. As an aside about Calcium glutamate, I put a drop of it on my D. pumilio frogs' backs every week or so.

Got ethidium bromide all over my hands quite a few times. Maybe I'll get cancer and die. Maybe it's not as carcinogenic as everyone claims.

Already inhaled homemade SO2 - I was trying to make PbS at home;
Inhaled homemade Cl2 too - salt electrosis;
Have a scar at my right arm from glass pieces. I was making HCCH from CaC2.

I touched a small nugget of Uranium ore my college science room kept. My finger got itchy after an hour and stayed like that for the rest of the day.

I guess that counts as an injury.
