Anons who study/work in labs, what is your title and what are some things you do daily? Bonus points if microbiology

what do you dread about the lab, what's the best part?

I had always thought that, but I didn't want to be the one to say it.

Micro master race.
My first PCR experience was a 4k BP fruit fly gene.
Then we did PilE for an experiment and the difference in time taken was astonishing.

neat care to disclose your uni?
any general advice you can throw at me or books suggestions?
also anything you wish you'd know earlier? trying to get as much of a decent start as I can, starting uni late as fuck (20 now, starting next year) hopefully in edinburgh/manchester or any top 50 biosciences unis really.

>care to disclose your uni?

UCSB, I don't really view it as good/bad, I just view it as someplace that will give me credentials/knowledge for a job.

>any general advice you can throw at me or books suggestions?

advice would probably be to get into research ASAP, professors/PIs prefer earlier students because they will stick with the school for longer. As for books, no idea. I wouldn't recommend books but if you know what your research subject is on maybe brush up on the basic and look up recent scientific literature on the subject.

>also anything you wish you'd know earlier?
like I said, start ASAP.

20/21 isn't really late, there are people in their 30s getting bachelors in science classes. I wouldn't get to hung up on the whole top 10/50/whatever. If it means anything, UCSB is rated "top 50" worldwide but I don't think my career would be all that different at almost any other UC. Don't know If I can say the same about UK though I'm not too familiar.

How can you work in a lab? Even if you could somehow fit into that breed of dog, it would be much too cramped to actually get any work done........

>> No.8838028

Chemfag here.
I do work with catalysis, specifically with transition metals and alcohol catalysis.
