During an anatomy lab at uni earlier today, a classmate dropped a whole brain into a bucket of formaldehyde from a rather substantial height. Aforesaid formaldehyde splashed over about 5 other people who were huddled around the table inspecting bits of chopped up brains. It got one girl on her hair and her lips, possibly inside her mouth!!! Eeew!!
Brains sure are slippery little suckers!!!!
Arggh! That poor girl!

Pretty gross huh. I’d hate to get microscopic portions of someone else’s brain in my mouth!!

Hi, stumbled across your blog and from reading it sounds like you did the exact same career change I’m thinking about, IT->medicine. I’m planning to sit the GAMSAT next year in March and was wondering if you could impart some advice to me. If you’ve got a teeny bit of time to spare please fire off an email to me. Cheers.

Hi, thanks for the comment on my blog
That sounds revolting! It reminds me of an incident in my year 12 biology class involving a sheep’s brain. Someone got a bunsen burner and a tripod and put the brain on the gauze mat and fried it. The smell of burning brain was pretty damn gross but I think I’d feel more grossed out if I got formaldehyde on my face. Yuk!
