    I don’t know, its missing putting your sample in a big grey machine and then getting a number from the big grey machine.

      Don’t forget putting your samples in the incubator and waiting overnight for cells to grow.

          Protein expression falls under biochemistry, and you need to grow cells for that.

            Look I spoke to Bill Nye and he said all scientists can grow cells sometimes, as a treat.

                Bioinformatics is the last door at the end of the hall. Be warned, we put it down there for a reason.

      They already make machines to do repetitive pipetting, it’s just that humans are cheaper and more widely usable.

        Our lab’s auto pipetter is broken about 60% of the time, most days we just shut it off and reroute specimens to the workbenches to do it by hand because it’s faster than attempting to fix it or call customer service. Maybe once the good-for-nothing customer service repair phone line is replaced by AI it will actually function and be worth the half a million dollars we spent on this stupid machine, lol

        I am meaning more than just the piping as AI is starting to observe now too. Read here the other day that an AI is researching new materials unassisted in a lab.
