haha has the name cipher what a small world. Thanks is there any more similar links?

Well honestly he is a poor teacher, besides his research. My opion the 80/20 rule applies. Personally I would be up front to him, and call him out. Your paying for it to be educated I assume. Alot of times people being called out for blunt truth, may offend them at first but you see a slight change afterwards. Realizing what angered them knowing the other person was right. If it affects your money in anyway specially time itself which is more valuable than money I would be pissed. Just think of your time and money, which is a investment on your part.

Thank you Marat, and Genecks for advice. Finally found time to reply. It is very true regarding the high objections of anti-genetic engineering. It is truely a shame, even though I'm more politically conservative in financial & small govt. Even though I'm a christian I personally believe in the "If the end justifies the means" & "God created humanity in his image". Also bad and good are just words what matters is what you do. We humans are such master-pieces of creation with a given intellecual gift. Why let it go to waste? Sad truth to those moral ethic commietties is they even themselves trying to jusitify what is "ethical" and what is or not moral. Have no right to do so even if they think it is wrong. Really you have no right to even save people, who says you do? As for finding a other alternative to doing lab experiments, I guess I have to do it in private, and whatever other means neccessary. Joining the military for a short time period I guess decide where they think is best for me. I have to make do on whatever I can. Thanks for the tips on bacteria and drosophila material books, I'll take a rough read into that. Regarding to the first steps for starting genetic engineering. So for the PCR machine why can't I have access for a PCR machine can I just buy one off the free market? Good info studying the drosophila flies is a good stepping stone for genetics. Interesting what undergrads go through, if I start studying now and move on more advance experiments such as plants and/or animals hopefully I'll go through classes fine. Hopefully for the end of my military career I can get military/loans funds to open, and operate scientific military research. Depending on what college I go to, hopefully it won't be a problem for me. You are rather right about the military keeping it private for the reasons you gave. Either way govt. makes profit off taxes and/or results. I looked up CBRN officer, sounds interesting to do. But way off the charts what I'm going to be doing in the military. Can you give a list of equipment that is needed for a genetic engineering lab?

I've been interested in the world of science such as genetic engineering, and physics. Reading countless articles over the years on the future ideas or what's happening today. Anyways I want to start on a path actually getting involved studying genetic engineering. Making things happen, even bought a few books, and been watching endless amounts of videos on it as well. Slowly getting a good idea how DNA, genetics works. Even want to set up my own lab as well, doing research and experiments. Thing is I have no idea where to start for regarding equipment, and actually manipulating DNA such as plants. How can I even start changing DNA, turning genes off and on? I want to start with plants before I move on like animals/humans for example. I want to actually manipulate DNA by taking other plants mixing them up hoping for the best. If I can learn now, even experiment on my own. I'll be way better off when doing it in college regarding grading. As for a other reason I'm going for a degree, is to become a Officer in the military. I'm going for BUD/SEAL training in half a year. Regardless what happens hopefully when I find my own time & using available resources from the military. I'll just do experiments in my own living quaters if I'm allowed that is then back doing my job in the military. I've been reading about sciencetist having a hard time finding funds or winning contracts for their research. Hopefully getting a degree in this field, and joining the military making the right connections may not be a major road block regarding research funds that will help the U.S military or even save lives perhaps. So what is the best way to go about on this? Any replies on suggestions will be appreciated. P.S : btw is my grammar ok or bad? still rusty on that as well. Wrote this 2 am but either way should not be a excuse.
