I wanna be a biopunk!

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

I'll by everything on Genes last list and colony counter (yes, I may be able to make them, but they look soooooo cool!). Now the big question is where from. I see only one good lab equipment supplier in my country....hmm....and you have to do it by phone. Darn it. Wish we had a store for that sorta shit.

Dory you have too much money !

living with parents can have advantages

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.

Go to school and college it's a lot easier than trying to buy a lab !

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. 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.

Exactly.
