The entire procedure was one that I had witnessed a phD student doing in the lab over the summer, so it was nice to do it myself. Without thinking, some of the pointers she had given me creeped into my head and I was doing them myself, it is highly useful seeing someone do it before you do, gives you faith! I am a fan of setting up DNA fragments in agarose gel, apparently my hands are as still as anything :). Also, I liked the fact we got little breaks in between, so I could think about what we had done, and what was left to do, made the practical seem more useful in my head. - Jaspreet Seehra

All that coffee hasn't given you the shakes yet then :-) - Dr Alan Cann

Surprisingly not, although I was running on caffeine today. This is how bad it is Dr Cann, it doesn't affect me anymore, so so bad! - Jaspreet Seehra
