• Question: Whats the weirdest thing you've found while looking at mutations in living organisms and what would you call weird or how does a sensor know it is weird?

      Dear Theo,
      by the dictionary we define weird something that works in a different way then we can think and if you are a scientist you generally see a lot of weird things.
      The most weird and dangerous thing I ever saw was a bacteria able to survive antibiotics, meaning that it was a mutant, luckly it wasn’t able to survive high temperature.
      My sensor can detect “weirdness” by checking the DNA of any subject.
