10 thoughts on “Plant Cell Technology – E.35

  1. I hate this American way of thinking that education in universities is useless.

    You can't compare years of studies with a 3 days class.
    The best you can learn in 3 days is how to follow a protocol.

    In 3 days you don't even come close to understanding one of the many scientific subjects that are behind TC (biotechnology, botany, chemistry just to name a few).
    And as proof that you also know that, you provide consultancies after the class (which is fine).

    I respect your mission to introduce people to TC, but don't say "universities want you convinced that education is fundamental to do this job".

    A university career teaches you how to work with a scientific approach, you teach how to follow your protocol. Those are two completely different things.
