5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

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
You start with approachable material that explains the basic theory. This is not it by putting the cart before the horse.
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?
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.
Nah, see, this is the shit that I mean by you being arrogant. If your point is to learn, then link to the learning materials instead of the storefront. I'm the second person I've seen you do this to. Do you realize how you come across when you lead with the wrong thing and then blame people for not getting you?
I did. Reading required.
I'm not about to backtrack on a thread for something you replied to someone else some time later. Less arrogance required.
Fair enough.
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
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.
Dude, this whole "without school" thing is so silly. I think you know this site made that worthless.
Yeah, the way you're proposing it requires schooling. Link a video directly, or an article, or anything other than a storefront for lab ingredients.
I disagree.
