It's really reminiscent of hanging out with folks tackling AIDs back in the 90s, who were part baffled and part fascinated with what was going on.
The last few years 80%+ of the biotechs I've worked with have been cancer related, and working with those often seems more like we're working on engineering tasks - they know they can solve a problem, they understand the different issues at play, and they're just optimizing their solutions - than true discovery. This feels more like discovery. There are a couple scientists I deal with who are really charged up trying to figure it out.
