But in the actual process, you get an idea -- like, when I got the idea one night that I could amplify DNA with two oligonucleotides, and I could make lots of copies of some little piece of DNA, you know, the thinking for that was about 20 minutes while I was driving my car, and then instead of going -- I went back and I did talk to people about it, but if I'd listened to what I heard from all my friends who were molecular biologists -- I would have abandoned it.
Mas no processo cientítico, pega-se uma ideia -- como a ideia que tive uma noite que eu poderia amplificar DNA com dois oligonucleotídeos, e assim poderia copiar infitinamente pedaços de DNA bem, o processo criativo para isso aconteceu por 20 minutos enquanto eu dirigia, sim, falei da ideia pra alguns de meus colegas, mas se tivesse escutado os caras, todos biologistas moleculares -- eu teria abandonado a ideia.
