        Hi Zozo,
        the remaining 30% of my time in the lab is spent with big machines (for example, I use a thing called ‘spectrophotometer’ that basically analysis the interaction between light and matter) trying to figure out how the mutant virus I just made behaves in certain environments. Also, I try different chemical reactions to put glowing things around my virus and watch them under a microscope (that is my favourite part!).
