Hi all,
This is my first post on SDN, although I've been reading various threads for a few weeks now. I'm in the process of writing my "Significant Research Essay" for my MD/PHD application, and I had a question about the depth with which I should describe what methods I used.
I don't feel like I should be bogging down my essay with details about how I did experiments (like a methods section in a paper - that would be very boring and tedious), but rather just saying something along the lines of (I transfected cells, did an assay to measure fluorescence, etc.). Does that sound pretty reasonable?
Thanks for helping me out!
