Wonderful(ly awful) educational games

Tree · 2009-10-12 13:14:20

Found these last night - http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/ They're awful, but fun in a sad nerdy sort of way. The pcr game is particular torture as your pcr machine breaks so you have to set up a manual pcr in waterbaths.... The blood transfusion one is good too, and the malaria one...

God, that would have been nice to drill the PCR timings into my head.
For some reason, I could never remember them!!
