Books - Practical lab advice & writing
In this section of the graduate reading room you will find all kinds of books related to the practical and experimental side of biochemistry, including general advice, experimental protocols, method reference books, like the well known Molecular Cloning series, and the well known, tongue-in-cheek German Experimentator methods books.
Below this is a section of guide books for science writing in English including Strunk's famous and succint Element of Styles.
Items in both sections are labeled on the spine.
