I've ordered it :) thx
To do this id need to add depth to my bio team, that's by far my weakest team in the lab currently. I recently let
contracts lapse on Arielle and my molecular biologist as it wasn't working out. I'd want to add the following
team and would need to do a search to get the best. MIT won't let me hire PhD Research Scientists, and likely
quality people wouldn't accept, without secure multiyear funding. I'd propose 500k a yr for 3 yrs with the
expectation we evaluate progress after year one as to year 2 and 3. The transparent cost break down is:
PhD plant physiologist - 80k base salary +56% mit research OH (none goes to my lab or ML) + 20% benefits =
149, 760 k total cost
PhD plant biochemist - 100k base salary + 56% mit research OH + 20% benefits = 187k total cost
Plant science tech (JR) - 40k * 20% administrative OH - 48k total cost
100k prototyping budget + 20% material & services OH = 120k total cost
= 500k a year / 3yrs
On my side I'll dedicate 2 out of our 4 shipping containers for 3 years (target paid for install / dev etc but with
stock price decline is stopping support for non essential research) and my salary is covered in other sponsored
accounts plus my team of engineers on staff (backend /front end software, data science , electrical, embedded
systems and mechanical engineers)
I know it's a big ask, and would understand if it's out of ball park, but I think that's what it would take to make
meaningful and rigorous progress on figuring out if plants can think and communicate
Thoughts?
