It's funny how this was written in 2018 but thanks to AI in 2025 this is becoming increasingly accessible.
In fields like AI research, tools such as Cursor and Claude/GPT are effectively mini-research assistants that help refine hypotheses and accelerate coding experiments.
While fields requiring expensive experimental resources (psychology, medicine, physics) remain challenging, even these areas benefit from AI-powered analysis of observational data.
The barriers to meaningful contribution are lower than ever.
