I would not be able to handle that. I love animals too much and I have way too much empathy. I believe you can do it though. Good luck.

so your job is pretty awful (not everybody can cut a living thing open and drain its blood) and you are scared of zombies?, I am more scared of living people.

HAHAHAHA

so it's not just the nerve that does that if you're perfusing (which it sounds like). if you're using paraformaldehyde this interacts with the muscles during fixation and causes contractions so the legs will clench up and down (source - neuroscience professor who loves telling gruesome anecdotes)

I'm so sick of this zombie obsession people have been having near the end of every year now. People can appear to be zombies from an illness, when they're high or really drunk or even sleepwalking. But they're not zombies, because zombies are not real! We need to be more afraid of being nuked or an asteroid hitting this planet or the environment going to pot. Or becoming roadkill crossing the street. Or having a heart attack. Or cancer... someone shoot me now. :(

Wtf is your job exactly

I'm surprised there aren't more animal rights people on here, going on about how horrible all animal researchers are... this would be right up their alley.

Where do you work and how do I sign up??

He's not a book! Don't make fun of him! :(

OP, I feel bad for your trauma, but.... LMFAO!
