@mtgordon and @SaintPeteSam : I agree with both of you, it’s just so crazy how their trains of though were. We are so careful in labs now to make sure that injuries and long-lasting problems do not happen. What are the first things you learn in a chemistry lab now? Don’t eat the chemicals, use an air hood if needed, wear eye protection, etc. It would be interesting to actually be in a lab back then and see how very few protocols they had. I remember reading about cell culturing in a different book and how they would become so easily contaminated because of lack of sterilization processes.
@Angelastic I can’t get the video or the video download on that site to work. :[
