University of Sheffield/4 August 2008

9am - Gosia, Eva and Rose are meeting Prof. Green to discuss how to order a genes.
Process of designing and ordering genes, plasmids and primers looks easy and commonsense but when you really try to put all those aspects together things are getting confusing. Details like difference between 96 well plates and tubes are not in curriculum of the firs year and we have to learn everything from the scratch. In addition, when you try to rethink what, how and why you are doing you are starting to discover how much you do NOT know and that you do not even now where to look for the answers. But Professors do know them!
