speaking of dicey chemistry, I'm sure you have already read the book, but to anyone else who hasn't: "Ignition!: An informal history of liquid rocket propellants" by John Drury Clark (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/677285.Ignition_ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/677285.Ignition_) made me realize two things: 1) I'm glad I didn't pursue a career in chemistry as I would doubtless have been drawn to things that are "interesting", 2) people who do "interesting" things in chemistry have the best stories.
