Yeah, we were in a neuro lab. So your patch-clamping, pipette drawing, and tetrode dropping skills were a bit more prized.
My co-researcher had never taken calculus, let alone any coding. Trying to get him up to speed with all the various skills he'd missed out on would have taken another 4 years of full time 'remedial' education. Of course, there was no time for that, let alone budget.
I totally agree with you though. And that's why I really think that AI would have helped out a lot. It's not perfect in any way, but your velocity through all the pitfalls of learning is a lot faster with the AI helping out.
