Scientist

“If you don't have communists and fascists in the same department having tea together, something has gone wrong because scientists are very extreme.”

“Is that incredible scientists have already cracked the code on most of the medicines we need to protect us from most of the diseases that will claim most of our lives.”

“My vision for what a scientist would be in the future is that They will be, I don't know, like agent wranglers or cosmos wranglers of like, okay, they're exploring a hundred ideas simultaneously, or they're like working with systems like ours to make an X the …”

“I think the enjoyers of science are also scientists. And so I think that it's kind of hard to imagine a scenario when there's not scientists as the consumers of science. And so I think if they're going to be consumers of science, they're also going to be some …”

“I think in a vertical, I think 90% of the work is actually, like, translation. It's taking something and making science, making sure scientists trust it, it's the right point in their workflow, it's easy to use, and it's accurate.”

“Pretty soon if you have these models, you're just going to be able to run experiments with the models without even having to go to a wet lab. And it's like, no, I mean, I think that that's kind of like, I think that that's sort of the biological version of lik…”

“We should stop punishing scientists who fail. If they fail productively, let them publish in a journal to explain why they're, what they learned from it. Like that, Silicon Valley spirit I think needs to come to science a little bit more.”

“Scientists, if you ask us, we're not actually good at predicting the future of the, of future in terms of, like, our will this investment result in productivity? I mean, actually, frankly, neither is Silicon Valley, right? You can't say, you can't promise me t…”

“Cause there's no way to synthesize all that shit. You're not synthesizing. You're not creating synthetic data that all of a sudden is going to, you know, you could tell, you give it all the backstory you want, that you're a doctor, that you invented this, that…”

“A remarkable statistics from the book is that today's scientists now spend 40% of their time filling out paperwork and filing for grants.”

“I think weirdly we're going to end up with, you know, automating the scientist, the innovator before we automate, you know, the experiment doer.”

“Whenever we discover a new drug, scientists rush to demonstrate that all those lifestyle changes, the ones you should do anyway, actually work through the same mechanism as the wonder drug.”

“Scientists are always aware of what they don't know. Unlike, you know, most people in most jobs, you're just always, you're wrong all the time. You're at these, you see these big gaps in humanity's understanding of whatever your discipline is. And you've got t…”

“He got more leads at the conference than the other scientists combined. All the other four scientists combined.”

“When you show an engineer or computer scientist a bunch of dots Usually the natural inclination is to try and find the pattern, the thing that explains as many of the points as you can, because that is the thing around which you will engineer your system. If y…”

“For autonomous vehicles, you have experts, and every driver that can drive a car, you can ask whether an autonomous vehicle drives as good as a driver, like me and you. For drug development, even the best scientists in the world, they don't know, as we mention…”

“Scientists are saying that it's the worst that the Western United States has seen in you know, over a thousand years.”

“But the researchers who have investigated this find that scientists do the same thing. They have something that's called knowledge shields the way all of us do. That, that a variety of techniques for explaining away inconvenient data and anomalies.”

“It is to no one's incentive to go out and try and retest something that someone's already published on, even though that's what you're supposed to do in science. There's no motivation. There's no dollars to do this. It's a disincentive to your career. It's a d…”

“There are scientists talking about do we need another category, because storms are intensifying so quickly and bringing certain hazards that we didn't deal with before.”

“I think it's much easier to train a scientist to be an entrepreneur than it is to train a business guy to be a scientist.”

“So scientists estimate there's about five million species of fungi on the planet, and only 5000 have been sequenced.”

“R&D is 250 K fully loaded per scientist, per engineer, per year.”

“The scientist is curious, wants to understand, is looking for discovery. The engineer wants to get it to work, and doesn't necessarily care do they understand how it works, but that it works.”

“People have this Kind of illusion that they're, like, antisocial or, like, they don't understand business, and I just, like, completely disagree with that. I think scientists have to be very articulate. They frequently present in front of large audiences. They…”

“We decided to teach every scientist we hired, so organic chemists, molecular biologists, geneticists, you named it, how to write code.”
