I'm a biologist and most of the other biologists I know smoke weed.
I always support your post but I want to thank you for sharing this wonderful knowledge. The discussion of the necessary data science methods for discovering important data has not yet begun. The work is quick and collaborative. Visit Einblick.ai if you're interested. In my opinion it is a better option for the users.
