We are a team of biotechnology college level educators, researchers, and writers who believe that our students’ success in biotechnology careers relies on mastering basic methods and concepts. These basic methods, such as how to measure pH or mix a solution, are not as glamorous as gene editing or cloning. However, we also know that, in practice, the major accomplishments of biotechnology are possible only when the most basic work is done properly. Our work thus focuses on fundamental methods and concepts that biotechnologists must master.
