Topics Include, the world's first lab automation mcp connected to hardware (or if you know of another, comment below!), testing agentic workflows between hypothesis generation & protocol generation, and the roles simulation software and digital twins can play in new builds.

You don't need to be an expert or a cracked engineer, you just need to show "ganas" (enthusiasm).

It's an opportunity to build, it shows initiative and it gets you out of your comfort zone. Work on a different problem for a day with a different set of tools and with folks across a broader skill set than you may to encounter day-to-day.

The goal with these hackathons and workshops is to give folks an opportunity to upskill, build community, but ultimately to give folks access to a space or equipment or knowledge they may otherwise struggle to find organically in an industry or academic setting.

The focus this time is on AI Agents (& maybe Digital Twins.) To support the hackathon, we're hosting a community workshop to help teach folks to use AI, build their own MCP servers and agentic workflows.

Just lots of new tools, libraries & SDK’s. Need to start dedicating time to just keeping up but noticing that even the mega corps are struggling as well.

Best example of this are note takers for zoom meetings, yes someone could take notes but then that person never really feels plugged in because they have to take notes and then absorb later. Also each person is biased and may devalue items others find valuable

or even "people are actually pretty rational and not that impressionable." All of this seems quite ahistorical and unscientific, even in the context of Meta's own history and own research. Do the ads influence people but not the malicious posts? It doesn't hold water. 5/7

That's a great answer but also a dangerous one. I imagine a significant group of people aren't ready for that response, won't be receptive or may have a physical repulsion.

"...indicating a focus on biotechnology, AI and automation. The lab is dark but emphasizing the cleanliness and precision of the environment. A robot stands in front of an automated liquid handler waiting for the process to complete while a human oversees from a window outside of the lab."

"Inside a high-tech laboratory, humanoid robots with sleek, metallic surfaces are efficiently performing tasks. One robot carefully handles an automated liquid handler. Another robot is managing a bioreactor, monitoring cell expansion. Advanced machinery and digital displays surround the scene,..."

There's the challenge of scientific "intent" or "context" which is limited by our vocabulary and fundamentally by how poorly we communicate science. And then there's the context of the environment aka the lab and the instruments. Marrying the two is messy since labs are actually highly variable.

Reminds me of calling Python from VB.NET (not a fan tbh)
