      Oh the most disgusting was dissecting a dead whale to find out what happened to it. It was smelly. In terms of dangerous, honestly the most dangerous thing I do on fieldwork is driving around.

      @Maureen that is really cool! The most disgusting thing I ever did was disect a fish so I can imagine how disgusting a whale would have been! The most dangerous thing I have done is probably mixing chemicals in the chemistry lab during my college course!

      Dissecting a rat and testing drugs on him while he was still alive.
