I recently let contracts lapse on Arielle and my molecular biologist as it wasn't working out. I'd want to add the following team and would need to do a search to get the best. MIT won't let me hire PhD Research Scientists, and likely quality people wouldn't accept, without secure multiyear funding. I'd propose 500k a yr for 3 yrs with the expectation we evaluate progress after year one as to year 2 and 3. The transparent cost break down is: PhD plant physiologist - 80k base salary +56% mit research OH (none goes to my lab or ML) + 20% benefits = 149, 760 k total cost PhD plant biochemist - 100k base salary + 56% mit research OH + 20% benefits = 187k total cost Plant science tech (JR) - 40k * 20% administrative OH - 48k total cost 100k prototyping budget + 20% material & services OH = 120k total cost = 500k a year / 3yrs On my side I'll dedicate 2 out of our 4 shipping containers for 3 years (target paid for install / dev etc but with stock price decline is stopping support for non essential research) and my salary is covered in other sponsored accounts plus my team of engineers on staff (backend /front end software, data science , electrical, embedded systems and mechanical engineers) I know it's a big ask, and would understand if it's out of ball park, but I think that's what it would take to make meaningful and rigorous progress on figuring out if plants can think and communicate Thoughts?
