Random thoughts as someone who works in a DNA sequencing lab

River, the gazillionaire founder of this company, would absolutely not be doing sequencing himself randomly one night. Where is the underpaid technician running the sequencing, or at least telling River where they keep the reagents because I promise River has no idea where the DNA extraction buffer is.
What are the DNADuo1 and DNADuo2 machines? Are they the actual sequencing machines, or are the computers for the bioinformatic analysis? I assume they are the actual sequencers, and therefore, it makes little sense they would have only two with the large number of samples they seem to be processing. And that they would let one be down for so long, which would massively slow down their work.
It would probably take at least a full day or two to get results, River would not be able to know by morning from the night before as he claims.
(view spoiler)[The logistics on faking the data are so ridiculous it's unbelievable, either that or this is a crazy large scheme that so many people were in on. First of all, why were David and coconspirators so sloppy leaving timestamp the same in saying when the data was from, or what machine it was run in?
Then, River claims that David never let the assay finish the first time to not leave a trail, how exactly did he do that? It seems like they are getting multiple samples, such as Fizzy's, so Jess's sample would have been run on the same plate with several other samples at the same time by a lab technician. But River also says none of the other samples by anyone else were messed with. So David would have had to single out Jess's sample to run alone to make this feasible, which would have raised red flags. (hide spoiler)]
Anyways, alll this to say I really enjoyed this book and thought it was super cute and fun and nerdy and enjoyable...more

But I loved the STEM academia setting!!! I have a stem degree and did STEM academia research so all the talk of pipettes and PCRs and no life and conferences as the backdrop for the romance was so amazing <3 <3...more
