Foundry Theorist

Here you'll find all 52 episodes of the Foundry Theory series

Foundry Theory explores biotech in the era of AI and lab automation. If you're looking for a place to start, these are some of my favorites:

> Is Machine Learning the Language of Biology? > Function Landscapes and the Limits of AI for bio > EncapS for Screening in Ultra-High Throughput > Can Biotech be Beautiful? > Hard, Bad, Bitter: Why I'm Hopeful About AI for Biology > Synthetic Biology for Carbon & Climate
