it's okay, I don't think I discovered anything that man is not meant to know.

Ah, sort of like building something from a Kinder egg
This science stuff ain't as hard as it seems
(, Sat 2 Feb 2013, 8:52, Reply)
kind of.
the whole "putting it together properly" bit is what's hard. In theory it's do this, then this, then this, then that, then this, then that, get your results, write up your labwork.

it's more like "do this. bugger it didn't work. Do this again" for a lot of the steps. and multiple times. Took me six goes to get enough of the gene to be able to determine exactly what it was and to be able to use the software to construct a model.

Do you ever think about using your lab equipment to make food stuff?
