Description
BioMarin is a biotechnological company that focuses on finding cures for rare diseases. We went inside the lab and got to see where they work. There were hundreds of different liquids in beakers, all labeled. Most of them were clear, and I wondered if they ever made mistakes when it came to adding one of those liquids. They told us how they named all of their machines names of gems and metals, or even names like Shrek or Donkey. The building was huge, and we only saw two floors. A woman showed us how she tested proteins and such, and while she was explaining, there was someone working behind her. I saw a few of them laughing, and it looked kinda fun.
Reflection
I thought BioMarin was cool. The STEM teachers know that most of us will go into the science field and I hope they keep that in mind when making more great field trips like this.
