      When performing experiments with students in the university we have to print A LOT of paperwork with information for them to sign, this is to ensure they understand the purpose of the experiment and what they have to do – I get A LOT of papercuts from so much printing, it sucks!

      yes, I’d love to meet someone who’s never had one! I do think a cardboard cut is more painful though. Perhaps you could suggest some research ideas for people in my department who do pain research!

      The score so far in who has cut who is: Me 15,673 – Paper 6. So I’ve pretty much shown paper who’s the boss around here.

      Yes, far too many too count. I go through a lot of paper every day when running experiments as we have lots of forms the people taking part in have to fill out so I’m always giving myself paper cuts!
