@ATinyGreenCell @RichArschmann yea but 400k of value is just self ego delusion. bio phds are not worth that much

@MethylatedK9 @RichArschmann wut? My salary as a bioengineer in industry was always more than academic peers. The value proposed here is that the Ai devs dont understand biology and thus their LLMs really suck at it and need ppl to generate data and curate it. This is the job of a bio PhD, hence value...
English
Anyone asking biologists to spend time training their custom LLMs need to pay them at least $400K+/yr and significant stake in company. No way in hell is your billion dollar pharma startup gonna short change the engines of your success.
Extremely good pay or fuck off. Full stop.
English
@ATinyGreenCell @RichArschmann industry pays way way more for biologists? no they dont, pharma/biotech still knows that biology PhDs are dime a dozen and dont carry much value. ironically junior devs can produce assets at scale-if u want to have their salary why dont you just do their job?
English
@MethylatedK9 @RichArschmann industry pays way way more and their consultation is an industry charge. academic salaries are not whats the status quo here. An Ai startup paying peanuts for biologists to obviate themselves away deserve massive compensation. What's a junior dev salary these days?
English
@ATinyGreenCell @RichArschmann this is not a lowball, lucky postdocs are on something like 70k in big metropolitan cities. biology phds are overly manufactured and generally ego-inflated protocol following slave technicians
English
@RichArschmann thats an extreme lowball for the value they offer. devs getting 500k to press tab on cursor while the people unlocking cancer cures get 90k? lovely logic.

@yodai_takei @hassan_biotech @biohub will you be in the upcoming cycles via columbia/yale/rockefeller?

@hassan_biotech @biohub Thanks! Unfortunately we are not hiring PhD students.

@sheep_found @o_____o ?? 😭 tell me youve never applied to a real job outside of retail without telling me
English
@MethylatedK9 @o_____o ...... Well you're not joining whatever team I'm in charge of
English
@sheep_found @o_____o i think it depends on the severity of the job? if u were a cashier then ofc youre not gonna meet the team, who cares. but if youre joining a frontier AI lab then ofc the team needs to know youll be a good fit

lncRNAs as disease modifying targets & conductors of cell state programming, are about to come of age . . .
John Maraganore 🇺🇸🇬🇷🇺🇦@JMaraganore
Love this! For over a decade, I’ve been infatuated with miRNAs and lncRNAs as disease targets, revealing a whole new frontier of human therapeutics. It’s complex space, but nothing this big is ever that easy!

@jdpereira @ATinyGreenCell hypothesis testing in 5mins while you do ur daily work, that otherwise wouldve have been done
English
@jdpereira @ATinyGreenCell absolutely not. even something like- my postdoc andy ran a xyz inhibitor screen on xyz cell line with xyz collaborator 3years ago in august- find the expression levels of xyz gene in response to xyz with this new paper i recently read. simple spontaneous

Vibecoding between PCR's has hit an all time high. See you at 9pm, Claude.

@jdpereira @ATinyGreenCell as a PI especially junior PI if you r doing website chatgpt and not claude code into ur entire filebase, absolutely NGMI in anyway shape or form

@ATinyGreenCell Is Claude worth it versus ChatGPT? I mean most of the time ChatGPT tricks itself and forgets what it wrote and drives me insane, but I imagined they all did that…

@florian_krammer What? LMFAO you pay your staff $70k after having a phd and want us to pay you to go a vacation? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

LMFAOOOO wouldnt even be crazy to know there are X% of academics that would support this rn

Academic scientists historically accepted lower salaries because the job offered intellectual freedom and institutional protection to pursue a passion for creating and disseminating knowledge. It was treated as a calling - closer to a priesthood or a federal judgeship than a corporate job.
As universities became corporatized, that relationship disappeared. Scientists became minor players inside large university bureaucratic structures focused on revenue streams.
If the freedom and protections of academic life disappear, there is no reason to accept a fraction of the salary.
Ethan Mollick@emollick
There are many great AI researchers at universities, but they pay a VERY steep price to be able to stay in academia and publish openly: “The top 1% of publishing industry scientists now earn $1.5 million more annually than comparable academics, a fivefold increase since 2001”

Writing out a conversation I’ve been having a lot at this conference:
Things in US science are far, far worse than people know.
Far worse than even other scientists know.
