Am I alone to find that many questions uploaded in the RG  by, in particular, young scientists are asking protocols.

What is the best or dummy-proof protocol? All these 'best protocol' questions came from people working in the biomedical sciences. Some are biologist the others engineers. Most of them are graduate students working on a critical project on their own. These kind of questions are very technical things that one can find no interest in and boring communications with them. The questions are just as calls from childpaly without searching, studying hard, pondering about, and understanding the matter they face up. It reminds me just like a quick culture of smartphone generation. There is no questions or discussions on complicated experiments, deep thought, analysis of why on the matter.

Most of the questions could be answered by several clicks of Googling. Then people have to develop the skill of evaluation through the processes, learning true science, but not the magical science!!!

Mind you!!!

There is no best protocol in the world even if you follow the exactly same procedure. They are not the exact same protocol in your hands in your lab in your country. This may be due to the ignorance of basic scientific process or the lack of proper training and education. In this precious space of RG, we should discuss more thoughtful and complex matter of science, but not the protocol or just experience.

Didn't you find questions asking the best protocol? We need to talk about this.
