      Hi Lillian

      I don’t think it’s particularly dangerous to experiment a lot. If you think something might go a little wrong you can take precautions, like if you think something is going to break violently you can make sure you have protective screens and safety glasses.

      Of course if you are studying something completely new like Marie and Pierre Curie were doing with radiation you might not know if there are any risks at all! That’s less likely to happen these days though.
