Getting The Most Out of PCR

We think you will be interested in an online seminar series entitled "Getting The Most Out of PCR", which is being broadcast by the popular life science blog, Bitesize Bio. Bitesize Bio is headed by Nick Oswald and Suzanne Kennedy, who co-edited our recent title "PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization".

The series lineup includes many of the authors from this book and kicks off on 18 May with a talk from LightCycler co-inventor, Carl Wittwer, entitled "Magic in Solution: An Introduction and Brief History of PCR". This will be a great learning experience with an opportunity to ask questions and learn from experts and pioneers in the PCR field. The full program is shown below.
