I don’t know if 8 PhDs is entirely accurate, biotech teams are a thing and usually there are a good mix of non-PhD technicians who support an individual project

- giantg2 3y agoI image it like ML teams in tech - the PhDs are building the models and the non-PhD are exposing the model, jockeying the data, etc.
- chrisamiller 3y agoYou're right that there are a variety of folks working on these things, both in academia and industry, but it's more complicated than "PhDs do this, others do that". It comes down to knowledge, ability, and experience, and the best research groups grab onto that wherever they can and slot people into the roles that are right for them.
- giantg2 3y agoSeems more like politics where I'm at. My company won't let you work on the models without a PhD. Literally all I would do as an "ML Developer" would be cleaning and moving data plus APIs to provide input/output.
