      Not always, depends on what you are trying to dilute out? Same principles apply when you are setting up your PCR mastermix and diluting it out for the different reactions.

    Thank you! Just found your channel through a search on bioinformatics. Since there was no comment so far I decided to try my luck to get an answer from you. You mentioned you go into further details for substack members for that job application and I'd like to know if you can do something similar or any kind of mentorship/guidance for "resurrecting old biologists" (in case I subscribe). I don´t even know if it`s feasible at my age (50) but I´d like first to get training in bioinformatics and then work with it. I studied biology but abandoned an MSc in molecular neurobiology two decades ago due to life`s circumstances and needed to work to survive in unrelated fields like language teaching and translation. With two decades of a totally unrelated career, it is highly improbable that I could still do a career change like that, anyway I´m always studying and trying to learn what I can by myself (Python, etc.). Except for the practical lab techniques, since bioinformatics can be quite theoretical and more related to IT, I thought it might be more accessible to learn and work remotely in my situation since I still need to work parallelly to survive unless I got a scholarship, which is also quite improbable at this age. Though it is difficult to leave this vicious circle, there may be still a chance to go back to science...

    In my opinion AI will replace 'certain' doctors such as GPs in the UK (called family physicians in other parts of the world). That's because their role is more or less impossible at the moment in the UK, they have around 15 minutes to look through a patient's history and make a diagnosis. This includes looking through any allergies, what medicine has been prescribed in the past, lab results... AI can look through this in a matter of seconds, and using any new information provide a holistic diagnosis. That being said, someone (not necessarily a 'doctor') needs to talk to the patient and then feed AI with any relevant information. This can be done by less qualified staff such as pharmacist, expert nurse practitioners or physician associates. Medicine need to adapt to new technology like all other fields. Should it really take 5+ years now to complete a medical degree when so much as changed in this day and age? Gone is the time when a doctor had to soley reply on books/raw memory to treat a patient. That being said, surgical doctors or those that are not involved in primary care will not be replaced by AI anytime soon

    AI can and should replace bad doctors. As population soars, it gets harder and harder to find competent physicians, especially in rural areas. We still need specialists, but so many current doctors are so limited, both by lack of training and by insurance and pharmacy industry limitations. People deserve quality frontline healthcare and humans are not up to the job anymore. Computers, big data and AI have improved medicine immeasurably and will continue to do so, especially if we can get the plutocrats to allow complete information sharing, which means using AI to strip PHI from that data to make it safe and usable.

All you should be aiming for is raising your broader baseline level of knowledge at this point before deciding which one to deep dive into. Good luck!
