Science Exchange is awesome -- I hope in a time of declining grant funding, it's possible for researchers to use this to lower their costs and do the same/more total research.

thanks (from a Science Exchange founder)! we also hope that the platform provides an alternative mechanism for raising research funds as well. why write a grant when you can perform an experiment/technique you're an expert at for another scientist... and get paid for it? i think of it as bootstrapping for science.

I'd love it if you could go into non-bio (I guess more electrical engineering) -- what I'd like is test/reversing of hardware. This requires a fair bit of equipment and expertise, depending on how small the item is. Reversing a PCB is one thing; extracting keys from a chip is a $1mm lab and ~6h.

There are companies who do this already, but much harder to contract.

My startup, banyan, just launched on HN early today https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5632760

I would love to talk to you guys. Is there an email I can reach you at?
