blog.tenderbutton.com is the weblog of a (nearly finished) chemistry PhD student… well, it was, because he’s actually just pulled the plug on it.  But anyway, it’s quite interesting in a science geek kind of way; I work with chemists on a daily basis, and need to understand them and their work, so it’s even kind of educational for me.  However, this is something that can be related to by anyone who has ever stuck their finger in their ear.  And (found via various links in another article) this is the most spectacular lab accident I’ve ever heard of.  (Spotted via In The Pipeline.)
