It's not trivial for a middle-schooler to make an incubator and I'm sure this girl got advice from microbiologists that would have taken her much longer to gather on her own. They had all the equipment she would need right there

I meant the limit as battery / bike -> infinity for a fixed race length, not the limit as distance goes to infinity. In the latter case, the human dies as surely as the car. The race stages are only about 200k, which is no problem

Actually, that paper states that the standard deviation from finger pinpricks is about 5% of the mean value of, for example, platelets. The normal range has a standard deviation of about 25-50% of the mean https://www.nlm.nih.go

I think your numbers are off by about a factor of 2 (underestimating). You can see the salaries for the UoC system at https://ucannualwage.ucop.edu/wage/ . Note that most of the professorial salaries are labeled AY wh
