      Hey Tulip,

      I guess you’re trying to get me to say there’d be a big crazy explosion or something, but sadly as a biologist this isn’t usually the case! Most of my experiments are very safe and I am always careful to make sure that I am well-protected from anything that might harm me.

      The worst thing that would happen if one of my experiments backfired would be that I would have to start all over from the beginning. This can be a bit annoying but it’s not the worst thing in the world!
