      One time I mixed two chemicals together which made a lot of gas unexpectedly and could’ve been dangerous if I hadn’t been using the right equipment to contain it. I learnt to understand this reaction better to avoid accidents like this again.

      Yes, many times, when I was working on my master thesis, my experiment was dealing with carbon monoxide. I made a mistake with the calculations, lead to a leak of the gas more than expected. However it is essential to remember, no mistake is too big or too small to learn from. ALWAYS KEEP LEARNING.
