We have now finished setting up our second laboratory, which is exclusively dedicated to pre-PCR work with ancient and historical samples. The room has UV irradiation at night, positive air pressure with all incoming air passing through a HEPA filter, and restricted access in protective clothing - all to minimize the risk of contamination. We are excited to start recovering DNA from cod bones excavated from archaeological sites and work with other ancient samples in the future.

DNA is part of what makes our entire life important. I mean, think about it, if you change even one percent of your DNA, then you will end up as a different being. I want to make the world a better place, and studying DNA is one thing where I can do it. I have been in this field for a long time, and I want to make waves in the industry. I am working on something that will change our entire understanding of the human DNA.

I am so excited to see all of the things that you find out using this. I mean, if we can see how the DNA's of our ancestors worked, then we can do a lot of things. I know that biologist out there are still trying to make some strides in our understanding of it all, and it will pay off soon. I want to see it happen. I hope that I am still alive when the time comes that it does.
