alt Hacker News'biology moves at the speed of life' is a fantastic quote that should ground everyone's expectations - unless there's a revolutionary advancement in simming life, do not think that we'll see the same pace of progress as we've seen in software engineering or maths.
Biology doesn't have particularly good simming, but what it does have is massive parallelism.
So as long as you can test things on cell culture level? You can do a lot with a high throughput setup.
