Is everything that’s written in there really true? Or at least more than half of it?
The science is pretty good, I work in a stem cell lab and what they're doing makes sense.
The speed at which they're doing it is absolutely laughably wrong. It takes weeks and months to be able to generate specific cell types, which doesn't even get into how long it would take to get a therapy approved for animal studies, let alone human studies.
That’s amazing! I ended up taking an engineering course but I actually want to take biology or chemical engineering but there’s no proper university for those courses that is near in our area that’s why reading these and confirming that what they are saying actually make sense if simply amazing for me
Honestly, courses are helpful but the best way to learn this stuff is by doing research. You should look into some summer research opportunities if you want to know this kind of stuff better.
I'm currently a Genetics PhD student with a biotechnology degree. If you have any questions or want something explained, im happy to help in the comments.
