        No, never!

        Much of the work I do is actually based around making our products safer for the environment and people 🙂

        No, and never ever! what I need for my experiments are glass, water, CO2, and some rust.

        Some of the PhD students I work with are animals, especially on a night out on the town!

        I’m not comfortable with animal testing but in certain circumstances it may be necessary.

        No. I carry out fuel research, so there is no need for animal testing. However I would never work in an area that would require it.

        Nope, the only animal that could get harmed is me as i used cancer causing chemicals sometimes.

        Do you think animals should be harmed in the name of science?
