      Favourite is “electrophoresis” as it sound like something out of a frankenstein movie. Least favourite would be “equation” as it reminds me of my maths lessons at school which were frankly a disaster 🙂

      My favourite word is laser (I just answered that one for someone else!) and my least favourite is probably something like “electro-magnetism” because it brings back memories of terrible science lessons at school and I’ve always found it hard to understand.
