Richie:
"I work in a lab -- that's
part of it -- and in the lab I'm doing some research. Some of the research
would be involved with areas in the DNA technologies -- in particular the
technique known as DNA profiling and that encompasses really a large range
techniques such as restriction fragment lymph polymorphisms -- which is
better known as RFLP polymerase chain reaction -- which goes by the name
of PCR. But a lot of the work that I also do involves writing or
presenting results of work at various conferences or workshops."
