Question: doesnt it bore you doing science work that cant be seen by the naked eye? x

nope. There are lots of interesting things that you can’t see. Music. The smell of sweet peas in my garden. I think it is pretty amazing that over the years we have got to see smaller and smaller things – think of the first person who saw a flea under a microscope or the inside of a human cell – think of all the interesting science that has come out of the discovery of the shape of DNA….
