Amazing talk from @vowfood engineer @soroushjp and CEO @peppsyd at #csm20online yesterday highlighting how much scope there is in automation to speed science up! The work of 80 scientists done by 1 😮.... sign me up!
🤯 I think @soroushjp is describing the future standard of scientific research. #cms20online #automation @vowfood @peppsyd "Even including the engineering time, what we built [ from scratch ] ended up being cheaper and faster than the standard solution"
