You are absolutely correct that the lack of standardization in assay preparation harms productivity and reproducibility in the sciences. Molecular biology has embraced standardization and automation to a great degree but it is an outlier. I

I've seen the Google self driving car on the roads on Mountain View and Los Altos since the current storms started. Clearly they are taking advantage of the weather conditions for data.
