<p>“Some people don’t want experiments to be repeatable, they want them to feel like magic in their hands.”</p><p><br></p><p>🎙️The latest episode of “The Next Experiment” is here!</p><p><br></p><p>This time, Markus and Phil sat down with Dr. Linden Schrecker, co-founder of SOLVE Chemistry, to explore the future of experimentation, automation, and why better data changes everything.</p><p><br></p><p>From failed reactions caused by cold Oxford labs to disproving decades of accepted chemistry with a single well-designed experiment, Linden shares a fascinating perspective on how scientists should think about experimentation in the age of AI.</p><p><br></p><p>The conversation dives into reproducibility, metadata, machine learning, and the cultural incentives that often prevent researchers from collecting truly meaningful data.</p><p><br></p><p>Some standout lines:</p><p><br></p><p>🔹 “You can collect 50 experiments in the same time as one, if you design the system properly.”</p><p><br></p><p>🔹 “We’re not incentivising scientists to collect meaningful amounts of data. We reward novelty, not repeatability.”</p><p><br></p><p>🔹 “We should be collecting data for a future we may never personally benefit from.”</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re working in chemistry, biotech, automation, AI, or process development, this episode is packed with insights on how smarter experimentation can unlock entirely new ways of understanding complex systems.</p>
