    Paul's presentation provided a clear explanation of the entire DNA testing process from sample collection to results delivery. His step-by-step walkthrough of how saliva or swab samples are processed and analyzed made a complex scientific procedure easy to understand. The visuals and explanations helped demystify what happens behind the scenes at DNA testing companies, giving helpful context for interpreting results.
