My work also included pipetting microbial dispersions by mouth, mate, E.coli, S.aureus being two potentially pathogenic ones...

Dory you have too much money !
living with parents can have advantages :biggrin:
Can I suggest spending some money on books first ?
Done.

But seriously, how much biology can one read (so far 1200 pages, each page is a massive page) before wanting to taste a lab? (as you can see, I finished the first 4 books (the 2 books at the bottom are the ones I just started reading - General Chemistry). The rest of them I pretty much ran over.

Or not, depending on what she wants to do with it... I own a microscope even if I was at Uni doing a lot of microbiology precisely for the reason that I couldn't see things that I wanted to, always.

Nah, I want my "own" lab, where I could do whatever I fucking want without asking for permission, without coordinating ahead of time, and without losing job days. In fact, with buying my own equipment, I can do it in my job. :biggrin: And I can even eventually have my own "rentable lab"...oooh, a business model!

That's nice dear ,I want an aircraft carrier ,I shouldn't let a few simple facts like I can't pilot a ship that size and that the only fast jet i've flown is a microsoft one stop me, should I , in fact It's a business plan I could rent it to Cuba or North Korea.

In fact anyone that says that If I'm so keen maybe I should consider joining the navy is obviously not accounting for the fact that I havn't grown up yet !

hehe, but since when did a small scale lab begin to equate to an aircraft carrier?

Heh. What's so hard in using a microscope, petri-dishes, staining, figuring out how culture counters work (which is basically a machine to just...count cultures)...the other stuff aren't as complicated, either. I'm not out there to do research with room-size incubators, just have cool basic science tools.
