    Okay so this next part of the description always used to say: "Trying to document grad school one CZcams video at a time, from lab equipment to genetics lessons to interviews with other scientists! Each video is a new view into life as a grad student, and the rollercoaster that is getting a PhD." But now I have my PhD. I'm not a grad student anymore! On to new adventures...

    I love the analogy about changing an existing protocol in both the kitchen and lab and seeing what happens. Legit, a valuable way of thinking and going about the scientific research process!

    • @AlexDainisPhD

      Yeah! Everybody's kitchen setup is a little different, just like everyone's lab is a little different, so you have to adapt and modify!

    There's a show I like to watch called "Good Eats" on Food Network (now called Good Eats: Reloaded on the cooking channel)! It combines science and food by describing the history and dissects the food dish biochemically so you know why the dish the way that it is or that's prepared that way. :)

    I loved this video as it reminded me of a book my father gave me some years ago called La Química y la Cocina (Chemistry & the Kitchen) which makes a comparison entraren the similarities of these two fields. In my opinion it’s wonderful and it should be read by anyone that works in a lab or likes to cook.

    I'm not sure if your into cornbread but I've been known to add hot sauce to the dough. For instance, if the box calls for water i substitute with hot sauce (franks red-hot). It adds something new to something old. It also helps make the dough fluffy, which is always a plus.

    • @AlexDainisPhD
      @AlexDainisPhD  Před 5 lety

      Ohhh, interesting. I am a cornbread fan, but I am still trying to work up my spice tolerance. Perhaps embedding the spiciness in delicious cornbread would help!

    I agree however cooking is not as deterministic as an experiment or let's say, good cooking is about intuition whereas lab experimenting is more about knowledge, process and experience.
