Eh. Some of these are genuinely interesting problems. Others like cryopreservation and Protein amplification chain reaction are scientifically close to nonsensical.

Rodriques is CEO of Edison scientific, which is going all in on agentic biology. These problems are all benchmarkable, and have been selected to allow for agentic exploration. That is, the tool is driving the problem selection more than genuine value to the field in solving these problems.

Still, if someone takes any of this up and manages something, it’ll be cool.
