Depends on the resources. Amazon undoubtedly has much more compute, but they’re not exactly known for their wetlab facilities—-and this question undoubtedly needs both. That said, I think you are right that academia’s structure may need to change. Right now, we’re locked into a model where projects mostly need to be doable by a handful of researchers (almost entirely trainees) in a few years. Other than these time-limited positions, there’s not a lot of room for skilled individual contributors, which seems goofy when tackling such a hard problem.
