Biological research and technological progress rely on learned physical intuition about how molecules work, rather than proceeding from first principles alone.

“Like when we bring a new scientist, uh, into the lab or even society, uh, advancing, uh, this type of technology, you know, we're not doing it from first principles.”

“We're doing it from an understanding of the physical intuition behind how these molecules work, which comes from these assays and other educational material that is straight up just grounded in the workflows and biological research that's been done.”
