Strain and add 2 Tbsp dishsoap. Let stand 10 minutes
add a pinch of meat tenderizer, and add equal volume of rubbing alcohol
pour into a jar and let stand for 3 minutes

That can’t really be the DNA, can it?
I wanted to get it under a super powered microscope to look at it. The experiment *said* it was DNA, and I can’t see a reason for them to mislead people, but I would like to look into it more myself
