      Hi Moontoffe21!

      I think the tool I use the most is my brain, I’m always thinking of ways I can answer science questions.

      The physical tool I use the most is my computer, I use it to write code which I use to look at thousands and thousands of DNA sequences.

      In the lab the tool I use most is my PCR machine (PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction) which basically is like a DNA photocopier, I put DNA in to it and it copies it lots and lots of times so that it’s easier for me to study.

      Senga 🙂
