Don't forget putting your samples in the incubator and waiting overnight for cells to grow.

Protein expression falls under biochemistry, and you need to grow cells for that.

Look I spoke to Bill Nye and he said all scientists can grow cells sometimes, as a treat.

I mean I get to do it as a chemist, so hell yeah Nye!
