Extracting stuff

It is now coming to the end of my second week in Adelaide.  I've been here for nearly two weeks working on my honours project at Flinders University.  This week I've been extracting DNA from my samples this week and will be starting on PCR tomorrow.  While it sounds exciting and brainy the truth is that it isn't really.  You just have to add certain chemicals wait, centrifuge the sample, and repeat (or there abouts).  I'm enjoying it and it makes me sound really smart when I say I've been all day in the lab!
