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.

We have so many faculty members at all six schools looking at this. I don't remember a time where all of us were working together so closely for a common goal. Usually everyone is so siloed. And they are to some extent, but we actually have med school people talking to public health people. The bench science people with the transitional medicine people. The informatics people with nursing people. Which is something that should have been happening for forever but doesn't. I hope this part stays afterwards.
ETA: Our IRB is reviewing 80 Covid related protocols right now.
