      Hi @gugugaga

      My work relies on a computer and a good statistics programme. Also the data that I use relies on our ability to code people’s genes.

      Otherwise though it doesn’t too much.

      Hope this answers your question!

      Hello,

      I need to use a lot of technology. Some of the microscopes I use have only been developed in the past 5 years or so so they are pretty new. We also use very new technology and huge computers to sequence the all the genes of our worms. Its really exciting to use new tech – one of my favourite things about my job.
