This is part of the BSL 1 lab I built in 2017 for learning Biology.

Since it’s completion, I’ve been growing safe strains of e.coli, running gels, mini-preps, PCR and other standard fare for learning basic biological methods.  I’m weak on the chemistry so there are a lot of Lewis diagrams in my notebook,  but I’m strong on bioinformatics so I enjoy it more and write about it less.

I figure that for every hour I spend seated on the lab stool in a lab coat, I spend 6 hours reading (and re-reading), 2 hours writing in my notebooks at the desk and another hour pounding my head against the white board trying to figure out why my experiments failed.
