Science at its best

We learn as we go along.
In college chemistry, I learnt about pH, temperature, and elapsed time dependencies.
I also learnt about stochiochemistry and calculations.
In college biochemistry, I learnt of pathways and inhibitors, as well as contaminants and lingering proteases, at low pHs.
I learnt of charges, where COO-H+ and NH is dependent on pH of the solution. Nucleophilic and electrophilic interactions.
At Gne I have learnt that consistency is important. Blanks, positive controls and samples by validations. External and internal standards for assays. Spiking known amts and recovery.
Oral presentations and written scientific publications are very important. Scientific thinking processes with rationale and purposes. Scientific peer assessments, Q&A, and group discussions.
Lessons learnt and remembering not to repeat same mistakes others have encountered. it is not repeating a wrong but understanding the wrong.
Looking at the smaller picture vs the large scale picture. running samples vs. solving a mystery. how can one tell the mechanism. what are the supporting evidence for the hyphothesis to confirm or null it.
