Brother, I have read entire books on this and have spent a good deal of time in the lab, and I know for a fact you don’t learn it by following a cooking recipe from YouTube.
Cool? But I think you are missing context. There are kits - no one will learn by avoiding failure. Do you really believe I meant one video would be it? Smh come on… But start somewhere. Its the concepts and not looking at it like magic… Its not
Are you serious? How is this complex. I respect your opinion but kids do these kits in school. I’m confused on what you see on this website that’s complex?
Kids? I think you mean young adults in university who have at least a couple of semesters of rigorous biology and chemistry under their belt to understand what they’re doing and why.
Dude, you don’t need biochem to do any of this. You don’t need to know a thing about biology to do a single one of these. But by the end it should sink in. You follow protocols. You think that requires a degree?
I’m not saying you need a degree to follow a recipe. I’m saying you need a formal education to understand what you’re doing with those protocols, how they work, and most importantly, why. You’re assuming that mucking around with some lab ingredients that the majority of pharma majors don’t even touch in 5 years of school will transfer the knowledge that can be easily learned in other ways, especially for layfolk. Why not link to a video on YouTube, or an article on Wikipedia, or whatever other intro material online?
Performing a lab experiment isn’t the same as understanding the biological framework and its mechanisms. All the lab stuff you do in school is to supplement what you learned in the classroom. It’s never a substitute for reading material and the guidance of a professor. And also, who has $50 to spend on a single ingredient instead of going online and reading things for free? Might as well buy the textbooks for that price.
Never said that. Doing it a lot does. I think you have your way of learning and cant see a path outside that. Read vs. Hands on? Why not both at the same time. If you think people are this dumb… Ok but I refuse to believe that.
What do you think people do in school? Technical degrees require at least 40% of their time in the lab, and I know that’s not possible or practical for just about anyone without proper materials. Doing it solo and spending money on it is bonkers when there are so many better ways to learn. I don’t think people are stupid, but I do think it’s stupid to start learning these things that way.
Steps by step protocols, classes etc. Can you cook a microwave dinner? If so, you can do this.

You start with approachable material that explains the basic theory. This is not it by putting the cart before the horse.

I agree. Just not on the order. Why not link to a video? Look at all the videos on the site. Fuck me we are all cooked.
Fine, here https://www.the-odin.com/edit-bacteria-with-crispr-simplified-version/ like, without self selection to review the site this won’t make sense. Agree. I only linked human cell culture because the brain up there thought it was all plants. Lol
