Science PS/SOP writers! What to do with lab techniques?

[gillymon]

Is it appropriate to list the techniques that you know? But is there a way to do this without making it a list? 

Or should this kind of thing be in your CV? Help!

I would just make a skills section in your CV. In the SOP, you go into more detail about how you used a couple different techniques in your research if you want.

Put it in the CV! However, if your experimental design required something really amazing that undergrads wouldn't normally be doing or if you engineered a piece of equipment to perform your experiments I would work it into your "this is how I addressed my research problem" part.
