And it's more than just like, you know, writing down a spec and saying like, please deliver this.

Like these people need to be sort of working shoulder to shoulder and shaping each other's work for this to actually be the more and more accurate model of how the human cell works.

I think user interface is actually really important.

You talked about you guys have a founder who's using Cell by Gene.

That user interface was intentionally designed to not need to have a computational or really a very deep biological background to be able to use because you want people coming from different fields to look at the problem.

It's like, look here, help us solve problems here.

And so building that user interface in a way where it's not a very high barrier to entry

To be able to poke around and learn something and bring knowledge back to your work, that's intentional.

And we're really hoping when we build these virtual models that we get to a place where we can allow a lower and lower barrier entry for people to say, like, you know, like, I have some knowledge about this.

Maybe I can contribute.

A very pertinent example is, turns out, I think immunology has a ton to do with neurodegeneration, right?

Seems like immunology is behind.

Everything.

So you need to be able to allow the immunologist to come in and understand neurodegeneration and understand how their world fits in.

And so the more you lower the barrier to entry allows people to actually think in a sort of truly collaborative and interdisciplinary way.

Yeah.

The Media Lab.

Yeah.

Well, actually, physics is where we got a lot of the inspiration.

Like, physics has just historically been—like, labs have just rallied around big projects and big shared resources.
