      My research doesn’t involve any explosions, so I’m sorry to disappoint you!

      Probably just a jelly baby at school – if your teacher hasn’t shown you that get ask if they can at the end of term!

      I’ve never really exploded anything, other than a tin when we were doing the custard powder experiment at school.

      Although, I did have a bit of an incident with dry ice once – my colleague thought it would be a great idea to put dry ice in soapy water, so that’s what we did, and it just bubbled everywhere – all over the bench and the floor. It was a nightmare to clean up!
