Just one comment. I really like the video, but why in the beginning are the scientists wearing safety glasses/goggles but open lab coats and no gloves?

"Throughout the history of science, many major discoveries came accidentally. Sometimes they came from recognizing potential in an unexpected product or waste. Other times, discovery came out of pure desperation from a seemingly dead-end experiment. Here are some of those happy accidents that ended up changing the world."

Funny they didn't mention how many Superfund sites arose in the use of the same materials...
