Ah, gotchya. I honestly didn't even think to look for an edit button, but I appreciate the tip greatly!

I'm not quite sure what one does when studying Life Science Technology. 

I can, however, tell you about my program. Basically, it's everything that you would do in a hospital/medical lab setting. So, when you go to the emergency room and you give a blood sample, for example - we are the ones behind the scenes that do all of that actual testing. We also do anything from rapid strep testing, to culturing bacteria, to chemistry panels, etc...

To quote one of my teachers, "Without the lab, the doctors are just guessing."
