Our thanks to @IainHolder for taking the time to share it!
He, like so many before, seems to have acquired the scar after a mishap with laboratory glassware.

As I mentioned on twitter, I did this in exactly the same manner as the video.. For my 3rd year undergrad project, I was making some fullerene intercalates and while I was twisting a test tube into some thick rubber tubing bound for the vacuum line, the test tube shattered and I stabbed myself in finger with considerable force.
ReplyDeleteApparently they hardly ever break. Something I laughed about with the x-ray specialist at the hospital.
