Science Joke of the week: What do you do with a sick chemist?
Answer: If you can’t Helium and you can’t Curium, then you might as well Barium.
The article by Dr. Mullis goes over the revolutionary process of PCR and how efficient fast and reliable PCR has been. He goes over what the science world was like pre-pcr and described a world of inefficiency and difficulty to make scientific discoveries due to such limited technologies. Based off Dr. Mullis’s take I completely agree with him about how accessible the process of PCR has been as we can amplify and use many oligonucleotides to thoroughly reaserch million of sequences which makes it much easier, efficient in a research setting. As we continue to grow we can see a rapid increase in accessibility in molecular biology because of PCR. Overall, I think PCR will take us to new heights in molecular biology as we will be able to make scientific discoveries faster than ever. This means treatments, for mutations, diseases and other things as well. The future is bright with PCR taking us to new heights.
