Mario Antonio Torres Acosta,Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UCL, joins us to talk about his lab automation journey as an academic, specifically teaching others how to use lab automation.
There’s plenty to cover in this episode, but you can look forward to hearing about:
- The shift to lab automation post-pandemic (5:25 mins)
- Automation and expertize is fluid, so should be the approach to adopting it and to think in the long term (11:30 mins to 16:21mins)
- Commitment is a big barrier to adopting lab automation (21:19 mins)
- Assessing how comfortable a person is with automation is to say nothing, see what they do and use this as a measure for your adoption (25:59 mins)
- Addressing the automation skills shortage in life sciences starts in academia (32:50 mins)
Mario and Fane delve into the deep nitty-gritty of automation in an academic setting with lessons that apply to those on their automation journey.
