Yeah this, I used to sit in the lab with my girlfriend (now wife) when she was doing wet work for her pharmacology doctorate. It was slooooow. Like slower than J2EE. I could smoke a pork shoulder faster.


If she's not doing work in the lab because that part is automated, perhaps she would have time for more and better experiment design?

Many lab experiments involve waiting for a period of time, and automating the steps before and after would be both expensive and failure prone.
