Dhash Shrivathsa drills down into what they do at Radix Labs. In response to the SLAS challenge he came up with Operating systems for biology labs, we cook software drugs. He talks about how Radix started off with a joke that went too far and evolved into making software for not software people. Learn about their new approach to the tools you already have and the philosophy of software. His philosophy is that one of the best skills in life is thinking like a computer.
