A Negative is a positive?
After complaining, what seems like endlessly, about PCR not working, I decided to try something a little different. Instead of screening for a PCR product, I opted for screening for lack of a product. Low and behold, what a surprise - it worked!
Could you build a project around negative data? That would be the way to go. The new attitude is: I don’t want this experiment to work. Think of all the failures you have in a day. What if those were actually successes because you’re looking for the experiment not to work. A revolutionary idea in science….
