      My favourite experiment has been firing lasers at one of my reactions. Although the experiment did not work and only lasted ten minutes it was great firing lasers. I had to wear all this safety equipment and take a number of courses because of how dangerous that laser was.

      I am slightly jealous of Rebecca who gets to use lasers on a daily basis, although probably those won;t be as powerful as the one I had used, as we had to go for the most powerful laser available to try and replicate the same conditions from a paper I had found. We had to stay away from metals as it would have sliced through them!
