That group primarily focuses on protecting European democracies from hostile Russian intelligence and military operations. Except the current US government hopes to see those hostile ops succeed.

May all your PCRs give you only specific bands of the appropriate sizes. May your gel extraction and miniprep yields be high.
May your cloning always give you at least one correct colony, and your genotyping identify the mutants you are after. ✨
