After conversations with 18 industry experts, I’m excited to share my research map on autonomous labs for scientific discovery.💡 View it here: bit.ly/autonomous-science-ma…
This map highlights customer pain points, product opportunities, and the peer landscape. I hope it shortens the ramp-up time for those interested in entering this exciting field, which aims to accelerate the development of life-saving therapeutics and next-generation materials.
A special thank you to the experts who generously shared their time and wisdom🙏. Hat tip to: Alan Gardner, Ben Collins, David Evans, @erika_alden_d, @gregmulholland, H. Craig Mak, @jakobzeitler, Jason Hattrick-Simpers, Jimmy Sastra, @johnmgregoire, @jonhennek, @KABrownLab, Luis Villa, Maxim Ratnikov, @michaelraspuzzi, Peter Kohli, @RoyKishony, and Steven Teng.
Here’s to accelerating scientific discovery together. Onward. 🚀

@KABrownLab has figured out how to test thousands of combinations of materials and designs for impact protection. And his system does this with unprecedented speed and no large-scale destruction.

Congrats to AC member @KABrownLab, along w/@AlexLavin_C137, @GormleyLab, @SterlingBaird1, Austin McDannald + @ajsh26 for taking the top prizes as part of our efforts to crowdsource next-gen designs of self-driving labs w/@CellPressNews + @SchmidtFutures! 👉bit.ly/3NzFbYj
Very grateful to @SchmidtFutures and @CellPressNews for the travel award that allowed my group to attend the @acceleration_c conference in Toronto. It was a fantastic time and we got more ideas, met more great colleagues, and danced more salsa than I ever would have guessed.

If there are others, please do share! @KABrownLab and I have been chatting about a robotic chocolatier (measuring hardness, strength, maybe taste😋). TacoBot linked to hackaday.com/2022/05/24/hand… --> FarmBot hackaday.com/2019/07/01/farm…. Considering getting one. You know, for science

Here's a fun project that we did with the @KABrownLab! We show that the performance of magnetorheological fluids can be improved by using magnetic particles that can also hydrogen bond with each other. Thanks to Abigail (Brown lab) for leading this work! iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
