  3. CW: Biomanufacturing and Science Research

    I spent a very valuable hour tonight talking on the phone with a good friend in #Biomanufacturing. Her research is in #Upstream process development for fancy #AAV #GeneTherapy stuff. Her work is all very much "If we figure this out it will massively change the lives of millions of people someday! Unless it doesn't work and my research ends up as a footnote..."

    BUT WAIT...most good #Science is built on footnotes! Footnotes are actually the bones of the researchers who found out their ideas didn't work. They did it right, but they were wrong. Most science is TOTALLY the future. Right up until the moment it's NOT...

    It's important to remember that none of the people in footnotes were failures.

    Long ago I did frontier research and I know the rewards of that life. I also know the feeling of seeing data from the international community CRUSH YOU because your paradigm was proven false. That's life in science. No one figures anything out alone.

    In contrast to my friend, my work is as a #GMP #Downstream #QualityControl analyst in #Biomanufacturing. My job is to make sure we make the known science work. We make it work EVERY TIME.

    I'm results-focused because the comparatively mundane #biotherapeutics I help produce go in patients every day. Therapeutic #Proteins like the ones that combat #Autoimmune #Disease are a massive benefit to society. I didn't develop any of these therapies but I make sure no one dies because of a mistake at the factory.

    So I don't push any boundaries as a scientist. I very much make sure to NEVER push boundaries. NEVER EVER. Pushing boundaries is a problem. I'm here to execute.

    So all I can leave you with is this: Is science a series of questions, or a series of answers?

    What do we really need more? I've always struggled with this. I still don't know.

    If you're honest and remember reading Kuhn, you know science has never proven anything. But wow we've had some results.

    Go out.
    Never settle.
    Demand results.
