Pipettes to Prompts Pt. 2: Coding the Lab — The Birth of Aquarium

This is an excerpt from Pipettes to Prompts — From Pipettes to Prompts: Reprogramming Science with AI (Part 2/6).

René and Yaoyu discuss the creation of Aquarium, a laboratory operating system that lets researchers design and execute experiments as code. Yaoyu explains how he helped bring software engineering discipline into wet-lab science and why reproducibility depends on good abstractions.

Tune in for insights on:

• Translating experiments into executable code

• The origins of lab automation at the University of Washington

• Why abstraction is both engineering and art
