trying to understand biotech? and i wrote a no bullshit introduction on how to learn the field.

Finding myself curious… how many earnest young tech people who buy molbiocell do you suppose read > 10%? I've only read in spots, but I'd guess well over 200hrs for a solid first pass?

I would guess most people that buy it never crack it, probably 95% +/-
200h feels light, it’s normally taught across two semesters outside of a major program. It’s a horrible entry text, but a pretty phenomenal reference text. Confused why it’s so often recommended in isolation

Right, that makes sense. I got 200hr from: it's 1400pp; my textbook first-pass pace is ~10pp/hr; added padding.
(I wonder what % of tech people read 200hrs in a year across all books?)
the no fluff way to learn modern bio that doesn’t make for a snappy blog post is to just read “eighth day” and look up whatever you don’t understand in molbiocel

And if you wanna learn applicable modern bio, go to Miracle of Science and feed an assay developer and med chemist Jaegerbombs until they start ranting about bioavailability and how shitty most high throughput screens are

I went through the whole thing, don't even remember how long it took, even skimming some parts and skipping sections here and there it still seems like it took forever

I think my premise is everyone recommending molbiocel in the abstract has much higher access to adderal xr than the rest of us
