Life Among the Machines


Spread the love

When I meet people at cocktail parties, I tell them I build robots for a living. Which is the truth, but not the whole truth. As you know, if you’ve been reading my blog posts, I'm a microbiologist who moved into the scientific instrument industry after about 20 years in academic and government research.  I've written previously about how this happened -- it was less random than it sounds, I promise -- but I haven't told you all about what it's like to be in this business on a daily basis.
