      I did not know that a machine I was using had a huge magnet that is capable of attracting cars and lorries in a second! But this magnet is very safely hidden and nothing should happen, but it was really cool to know that!

      It always amazes me how fast science advances! Chemical reactions that weren’t known 10 years ago are now crucially important and new things are discovered every day 🙂 It’s always an important day for science haha!

      Hi race393ear ,

      I haven’t come across one in my job or I probably can’t recall one at the moment.

      The weirdest thing I discovered in my work was that antibodies produced in lupus patients can be used to treat cancer tumours- Using biology of other diseases to make new treatments for others!
