UCLA student dies from lab fire

Ouch! What was she thinking wearing a flammable sweater, no lab coat, and wearing no safety equipment at all? Even the mimimal modicum of care, such as finding out where the lab showers are, running a wikipedia search of the reagents, and actually turning on the ventilation hood could have prevented her from becoming flamming human torch. Talk about a lack of common sense 👎 Thankfully, she was only pre-law and not premedicine

It's a shame you're pre-med.
 
What if she thought that WAS the proper technique, whatever she was doing? What if she had no idea that that chemical could turn her into a human torch?

Then she has no business working in a lab with dangerous chemicals?
