Scientific tasks that make people

Squeezing snake venom, hunting storms, "taking care of" crocodiles . are extremely dangerous jobs in the scientific world.

Scientists are the ones who regularly conduct new research to bring to our lives more advanced gadgets. Most scientists often conduct research in the laboratory, but others perform their ideas with action in practice. In it, there are some very unique things that can endanger your life at any time.

Let's review some of the dangerous work that the research community is doing to achieve the dream of conquering science below.

1. Squeeze venomous snake venom

Every year, thousands of people around the world die from snakes and poisonous bites without timely remedies. This requires scientists to take measures to limit and create an effective way to save bitten victims.

One of those jobs is to take venom directly from poisonous species to make venom-resistant serum. However, this is an extremely dangerous job.

Many scientists have been bitten by snakes when taking snake venom

Squeezing a snake completely is not easy. They had to use the hand to open the snake's mouth and insert its venom into the vial to extract the venom. This job requires the implementer to have a 'steel' spirit. Most scientists who do this work are bitten by snakes and some have been bitten more than 20 times.

The salary for this job is about USD 30,000 / year (equivalent to VND 624 million).

2. Hunting the storm

Chasing storms or tornadoes is a very dangerous job but it is very common for some meteorologists. Storms often move at a very fast speed and are accompanied by tornadoes or lightning that are dangerous to human life.

Typhoon hunting involves many risks

Every year, thousands of people around the world die from the storm. The work of meteorologists is to chase storms and gather information to make more accurate predictions about future storms.

The average salary that every "hunter" hunters earn is about 60,000 USD / year (equivalent to 1.2 billion VND).

Recently, in May 2013, Tim Samara - a storm hunter reckless with his son who died after chasing a tornado in El Reno, Oklahoma with the desire to learn the path of this whirlwind. .

3. Astronaut cosmos

Astronauts are also one of the dangerous occupations mentioned when facing the harshest working conditions. The astronauts before performing the mission often undergo arduous training at the space centers. However, the risk of death is also very high because they face the bombardment of UV rays when traveling in space.

Astronauts face many dangers in space

When returning to Earth from the space station, astronauts still face the risk of bone weakness and muscle atrophy due to being in a zero gravity environment for a long time.

The amount of US astronauts received is quite high - about $ 130,000 / year (approximately VND 2.7 billion) regardless of whether they are in space or on the ground.

4. Research crocodiles

The study of crocodiles is primarily conducted in Australia to protect crocodiles from infection. Researchers often go at night and use high-pressure lights to crocodile eyes to detect them.

Crocodile can leave heavy injuries to researchers

After that, they will use crocodile rope to pull up ashore for research. This work is very dangerous because if negligence, the researchers will have to receive heavy injuries from the brawl of fierce crocodiles.

60,000 USD (about 1.2 billion VND) is the amount that every crocodile researcher is paid every year.

5. Observe the volcano

Active volcanoes are a very dangerous thing for humans when the temperature of molten lava can reach 1,200 degrees Celsius. However, that is not a big obstacle for those Volcano researcher.

These scientists specialize in the study of volcanic formation and the surface eruption as well as in the ground. In order to carry out the work, they are often present in volcanoes, especially the active mountain to gather information. This research could help scientists more accurately predict volcanic eruptions or earthquakes to save many lives.

Must work in a hot environment of thousands of degrees Celsius and near death, but the volcanic experts only receive about 72,000 USD / year (more than 1.4 billion VND).

In order to obtain realistic science footage, researchers and cameramen have to risk their lives in the area of ​​volcanic eruptions.

6. Research on radioactive science

Nuclear radioactive substances always bring potential dangers to those who approach. To research radioactive materials, scientists are often equipped with the most protective equipment carefully. However, that still does not provide the absolute safety for scientists.

Every year there are still scientists infected with radiation for many different reasons. Radioactive substances can enter the body through the skin, gastrointestinal tract or breath. When the body is exposed to radiation can cause a series of complications such as cancer, leukopenia, necrosis, mutation, deformity. More seriously, these harms are very difficult to overcome and can last for generations to come.

However, the amount of money each scientist receives is only average - $ 55,000 per year (about VND 1.15 billion).
