Question: what materials do you work with?

Materials? I work with loads of things, whats cool about my research is that I can do the basic microbiology stuff which involves growing fungi and all that stuff with massive microscopes, but i can also do loads of other stuff, i do alot of DNA and RNA work which involves using computer programmes , big massive sequencing machines. Im hoping in the next couple of months to use this new machine called the minion sequencer which is a “sequencing” machine which reads the DNA code in a cell and tells me all about the genetics of my fungi . Whats super cool about this machine is that its the size of a phone and normally these machines would be the size of an oven so its amazing technology!
