He's actually taking a dig at "Quantitative Biology" specializations and saying they aren't really producing anything interesting, so are not worth the trouble.

Earthquake proofing technology exists, it just makes building more expensive. I probably shouldn't have mentioned it. It seemed too vague to just say "it's a pain in the ass and too expensive," even though that is what new construction in t
