How does a COVID PCR test work? (part 1) – extraction

Okay. Who knew my previous post on rapid antigen tests would do so well. 😅 So while riding this brief increase in traffic, I’ll follow it up with posts describing the theory behind a COVID-19 PCR test. But given how large a topic this is, I’ve broken it up into […]

Aquarium 2.0

So I made a post back in July about upgrading the fish tank. The old tank was a 29L and the new one is 76L (a sizeable jump). There are fish in there- they’re just a bit hard to spot. 😅 There’s Hoover the sucking catfish (Chinese algae eater), Gary […]
