That's actually a good prediction. Biotech is untapped field for moonshot-scale breakthroughs, even the current mRNA vaccines is only a small part of what will be possible in 10-15 years.
- jszymborski 6y agoI think this is why the grand-parent is perhaps making an error in thinking that e.g. space travel or computing are silos unto their own. Having worked in wet labs and deep learning labs, I think we've a lot to gain from increasing our ability to simulate experiments in silico and automate biological processes. A lot of the room for improvement has been carved out by improvements in machine learning.
- burlesona 6y agoI agree with you :) > But in the same way that the mature industrial revolution made high-precision manufacturing possible which made incredible computers possible, our mature computer technology is now enabling incredible progress in biotech.
- jszymborski 6y agoTrue, I missed that!
