  Lab work is meant to compliment the week's lecture material.  In cellular biology we worked with everything from E. coli cultures to enzyme and substrate reactions.  Labs were my personal favorite part of this biology course.  In the past I had done very little with biolgy and thought that it was a subject that I hated.  This class not only taught me that I don't dislike science or biology, but also that I'm not bad at it either.
