Aside about nanopore

But that is still not enough

• web-based on-demand remote life science lab
• live results
• currently expanding... jobs available... tons of start-up funding

Robots + Internet

    run = requests.post(url("%s/runs" % PROJECT), json.dumps({
      "run": {
        "title": "Synthesize pri-F",
        "request": {
          "type": "synthesis",
          "sequence": {
            "sequence": "acatctgagcgagcgac",
            "name": "pri-F"
          }
        }
      }
    }), headers = headers).json()
    print run['id']

Robots + Internet + Life

• Science sucks to do
• Robots are awesome
• Robots + the internet are even more awesome
• Robots + internet + machine learning + utilitarian political philosophies = Bow down human worms.
