I wanted to major in neuro undergrad, but my uni didn’t have it. I double majored in cell & molecular biology/psychology. I have been thankful MANY TIMES for molecular background. Today: PCR cleanup > digest > gel > extraction > T4 ligation/HiFi assembly > e. Coli transform

P.S. this review was originally 5x longer and soooo much more fun/historical/engaging/narrative. DM me if you want the director's cut LOL the reviewers did not care for the style.
