Yes, it is possible to recapture the experience. 1. There's a lot more than deep learning and genome editing. But yes, you're right, these are part of the cutting edge. You should look around further. And beyond pure technology too. 2. Script hacking is different from things like deep learning or genome sequencing. The former requires knowledge of a programming language and some talent. The latter requires a great deal of subject knowledge in addition. So yes, going back to school is a good way to start learning these things in a structured manner. 3. One option, if you are a big picture guy with tech skills, is to build your own product. You should have the vision and the skills. The other, like I said before, look beyond pure tech, there's a lot starting to happen. Third, like you said, go to school and learn machine learning or genetic engineering. Hope this helps somewhat. All the best!
