Question 3: If you could be any lab instrument, what would it be and why?
The PCR machine (including a tube of NEB HiFi/Gibson Assembly Mix and Q5 Polymerase). Q5 is a cheat code and Gibson Assembly is an incredibly powerful tool that has enabled my research to happen.

New pre-print from the lab! Fanconi anemia proteins not only repair DNA interstrand crosslinks, but also DNA double-strand breaks. Great work by @BertKooij, Fenna van der Wal, in collaboration with @marcelvanvugt, @altmeyerlab and @LabYaffe!

Question 3: If you could be any lab instrument, what would it be and why?
The deconvolution microscope, because it readily generates beautiful images and the math behind it is really quite amazing.

Question 3: If you could be any lab instrument, what would it be and why?
A cell sorter. I've used them a lot and it still blows my mind that they can do what they do.
