Topics Include, the world's first lab automation mcp connected to hardware (or if you know of another, comment below!), testing agentic workflows between hypothesis generation & protocol generation, and the roles simulation software and digital twins can play in new builds.

In support of our lab auto hackathon on June 21st, we're hosting a Build Day/ Workshop on June 14th in San Francisco at Studio 45!

Just in time for the long weekend, thank you!

You don't need to be an expert or a cracked engineer, you just need to show "ganas" (enthusiasm).

It's an opportunity to build, it shows initiative and it gets you out of your comfort zone. Work on a different problem for a day with a different set of tools and with folks across a broader skill set than you may to encounter day-to-day.

The goal with these hackathons and workshops is to give folks an opportunity to upskill, build community, but ultimately to give folks access to a space or equipment or knowledge they may otherwise struggle to find organically in an industry or academic setting.

The focus this time is on AI Agents (& maybe Digital Twins.) To support the hackathon, we're hosting a community workshop to help teach folks to use AI, build their own MCP servers and agentic workflows.

Just lots of new tools, libraries & SDK’s. Need to start dedicating time to just keeping up but noticing that even the mega corps are struggling as well.

Best example of this are note takers for zoom meetings, yes someone could take notes but then that person never really feels plugged in because they have to take notes and then absorb later. Also each person is biased and may devalue items others find valuable

ChatGPT for generation to f a list of commonly used acronyms in domain Z vs domain Y is super clutch 😅
