    Duh that is old tech, nowadays you enlarge the DNA to human size so you can easily pluck out individual nucleotides with regular tweezers.

    And when she says that, she doesn’t mean finding a supplier. Once you put the tweezers down, you’ll never find them again

    The worst part is when you wobble slightly and insert the strand of DNA in the wrong place, so instead of curing the patient’s genetic disease they immediately sprout horns.

        Sorry, I accidentally spliced in the wrong bit of DNA for you; now you have 2 anuses coming out of your palms, and you can’t control them, like birds.

    You got through a doctoral program in evolutionary biology without knowing how to spell tweezers?

    . . .

    Okay.

      Have you met people this educated in fields this specialized? They ain’t got time, or room in their brain, to care about spelling.

    Looks like it’s normal size tweezers, but vastly enlarged DNA.

    You’re creating strand breaks is what you’re doing.

    don’t look like traditional tweezers except really small?

    I’m sure they also spend a lot of time staring face to face with a DNA strand too

    I think she means “as an evolutionary biologist: you have no idea …”. Rather than “as an evolutionary biologist, you have no idea …”.

      Well, I did indeed have no idea I was an evolutionary biologist…
