Cabinet Maker of the future “First of all, put the kettle on, then take the van to the Timber Merchants and pick up some nice synthetic walnut.
Then you’ve got that job to make and finish. When you’re doing the drawers, do the tails first. When you’re done, put all the tools back and leave the place tidy”

The last few years before I retired I worked in DNA deposition (10K micron sized fatures of real DNA printed on microscope slides) and then moved into the in situ printing and chemical synthesis of 90K and up DNA features on microscope slides. These slides are used by research in a similar fashion as the “old” titer plates of 96/348/1536 wells except now there are 90K “wells” and more results can be attaned in a shorter period of time.

During that time we were kept abreast of how our products were helping in research for quite a number of human and plant diseases and that aspect kept most of us going as we could see hard evidence of results.

15 years ago this was not possible and this is just the start!
