If you’ve ever taken a biology class, you’ve probably heard about DNA being the “blueprint of life.” But have you ever wondered: how do scientists actually read that blueprint?
The answer has changed...
One of the biggest mistakes I made early in research was thinking that any graph was good enough as long as I “showed the data accurately.” A bar plot here, a line graph there—it didn’t matter, right?...
When I talk to students about science, I often get the same reaction: “Why would you want to do this?”
It’s a fair question. Science demands long hours, countless failed experiments, and a tolerance ...

When I first started research, I thought science was supposed to be straightforward. You ask a question, design an experiment, and then (if you’re careful) you get an answer. That’s the version of ...
