Plant Breeding Lab

I'm currently at my plant breeding job. I've spent the morning learning how to extract DNA and use the various lab tools involved, it's been fun. And easy. Working in a lab is mostly cerebral and minimally physical. It's a good way to spend a morning, almost like spending it organizing papers or whatnot. And, there's downtime. I've a half-hour break, essentially, and am 9 minutes away from working again. What an easy job! I hope I learn a lot about breeding. I'm going to have to start reading their plant breeding texts during downtime.
