Transformers: PCR in disguise
The thesis of this blog has always been that technology can play a valuable and meaningful role in science. We’ve shown that it can:
- Change how you image/detect things
- Enable you to cheaply pool large amounts of computing power
- Help you reach out and connect with the general public
And, with the power of YouTube, social media, and advanced computer graphics and modeling techniques, it can make something as mundane as PCR look super cool (HT: my Benchpress partner-in-crime Anthony for showing this to me and Roche for making it):
Or as Anthony noted, “if RT-PCR was this cool, I’d do it everyday”. Now, how do I get my PCR machine to fight evil?
