Newest newb, you are absolutely right though that a second person’s reaction to another’s statement shows a lot more about this second person than about the original person. I love how you immediately jump to the “obvious fact” that I have zero lab experience from what I wrote, since I think I merely said that PCR seems complicated, which was said as a response to the kind of comments made by platypodes and others that gel electrophoresis and other lab techniques are so easy that “anyone can do it” just by reading instructions, etc. As someone who has been working in a lab for the past three years and sometimes still can’t get the desirable results she wants from these kinds of lab procedures, I happen to not find them that easy at all and thought to point that out. Well, obviously no one got the point, and I’m probably just incompetent, (in fact I’ve never even done PCR before, horror!) but there’s no reason why Rtgrove shouldn’t mention his lab experience in his application just because they don’t seem “significant”.
