I had worked with smoke, leaves, and bacteria.
But it wasn’t until I entered the lab at GenHD that I truly understood:

Here, DNA wasn’t a concept from a textbook.
It was something inside every tube I held — samples from expectant mothers and newborn babies.
Every time I placed a sample into the PCR machine, I wasn’t just running a thermal cycle —I was helping answer a question: “Will this child be born healthy, or is there something we should prepare for?”
At first, I was only assigned small tasks: logging machine temperatures, checking pipette tips, preparing buffer solutions. I used to find them tedious — until one technician asked me,

And in that moment, I knew:
