And five years of gluing APIs together that help get more people to click advertisements - you'd be surprised how much math you forget. Machine learning can be better for exercisin…

Most company's right now want to automate all skilled labor away as quickly as possible. CEOs don't want innovation, they want a saleable product with the highest profit margin and…

One could argue that bad software engineering practices are rewarded by academia. If no one can follow your work you drive away competition so why write comments. If you regularly …

Most of the reproducibility issues in chemistry happen in biochem in my experience(meanwhile it gets the most funding). That said, synthetic chemistry is also a problem area. Usual…

Hard to get into, have to move to one of five places, usually requires security clearances (huge ordeal), extremely clean lifestyle, if your PI is evil expect zero protection, post…

No there isn't good money in physics and chemistry or pure math. PhD chemists almost never make 6 figures even in high cost of living areas serving as a specialist. I made less as …

A lot of the smarter people I know have been recruited into Europe. People say "the salaries are so much lower lol", but the reality is, you often have employment laws that remove …

Even if you have a PhD it sucks. Everyone without a PhD is trying to one up you, and everyone with one has invented ten other arbitrary things that ensure you are human trash on ar…

In the us, a few years ago, my program offered a stipend of 22,000 usd per year. Provided I taught a few classes, graded homework, tests, etc. While doing research and taking my ow…

I've seen people get fired from a academia on several occasions... When they couldn't fire someone they beat them down so regularly and buried them so deep people left or had a men…

Ignoring machine learning entirely... Chemists benefit from this. Being able to type in a moiety and the product you want saves a bunch of trouble...

They should probably pay them the going wage for software engineers too. I used to work in science, the salary's are often half of what entry level swe positions are, and require a…

Known reactions is also a very large space. Everyday dozens of papers get published enlisting many reactions on a good deal of different starting materials. Guess it depends on wha…

That's mostly true in the biological sciences (biochem included), less so in chemistry.

Majority of the problem here isn't a database problem ironically. It's a scraping, cleaning, and organizing problem. That said I would also be interested in helping.

Although this is a good idea. It is a monstrous task. A basic exercise in combinatorics would show that this is difficult. I can think of technologies capable of making this happen…
