Day 4
Morning lessons started at 9.30am. We had a discussion on some of the latest trends in the biological world. The focus was on the stem cell research and we discussed ethical issues and the extent of benefit stem cell research will bring to mankind. We stopped for lunch at about 12.30pm, and we had instant noodles for lunch, just to save money. We had a practical session with Kyra in the afternoon. It was a very interesting practical on extracting DNA from the Kiwi fruit. We had a lot of fun mashing up the kiwi into a disgusting pile. (I don’t know about the others but I know I had fun :D) After that, we just added salt and detergent to the disgusting pile and heated it up a bit. After a while, we just poured ethanol into the mess and watched the DNA precipitate out. I took some of it just for keeping and its really nice. That shows how something beautiful can come out of something disgusting (hmmmm…..?)Done By: Xiang Loong
