Slightly off topic, but the author of this article is Derek Lowe who I know from his series called "Things I Won't Work With" which contains some amazing facts and hysterical observations. He wrote a new entry in August that I hadn't seen (the first in a few years). Definitely check it out. https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/category/things-i-wont-work-with https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/category/thin...

Great read I love the euphemism of "energetic materials chemists"

By the by it's often worth skimming through the comment threads on those articles for entertaining posts by chemists reminiscing about their own near-misses!
