“What happened in the past five years was in some sense a perfect storm where compute power has grown dramatically. We have seen more and more, and we keep seeing more and more technologies in biology and chemistry that allow us to measure things in, you know, unprecedented resolution granularity, and we have more sophisticated algorithms. So I think This perfect storm of technology and science allow us to do things we couldn't have even dreamed like 15 and 20 years ago.”
