Are they still allowed to use Bunsen burners? I would think the 'Health &
Safety' legislation would have done away with them - just think of the
risk
assessment (remembering burnt lines down the centre of the lab benches due
to generations of students.....)! As for what was in some of the cupboards
in the chemistry lab ... Porton Down would have been interested. It
certainly had the effect of attracting my interest (perhaps towards the
more
'energetic' reactions...), even though I ended up as a physicist.

Hopefully, John, Someone or Something will do for them all one day!
When we now have serious discussions about paying students to attend
to the sciences and engineering studies then I would suggest that the
politicians have already done for the sciences!
By definition, this shows that there are no longer sufficient good
teachers in the system to excite and motivate students at an early age.
Paying students to be taught by the mediocre will simply produce more
mediocrity.
I just hope that the last good science teacher remembers to turn off
the Bunsen burner as he leaves! (Ooops, I forgot we will probably run
out of affordable gas by then!)

What politicians do for science, hopefully science will do for them one
