In car racing, drivers are taught not to hit the brakes and turn the wheel at the same time. The tires don’t have enough traction to make major changes to both direction and speed at once. Integrating a data team into a biotech organization requires a similar rule for changing the technology and the processes around it. New software for collecting sample metadata require new lab processes to collect it at the right point in the experiment. New analysis tools need to be incorporated into bench scientists’ post-experiment workflows. New predictive models require new ways of designing and evaluating experiments.
