Spend a few years working in the target environment. It will disabuse you of the idea that science research can be regularized with technology.

You'll want to sit down when I tell you the budget these folks have for workflow solutions. Ain't gonna take long but might be shocking if you've got big startup hopes. ;)

If you want to make no money, sure.

The solutions these scientists need are bespoke and share little in common. They also have fixed grant funding.

In 2009 I made $15/hr working with some PhDs and grad students in a couple different labs to automate their workflows - I was the highest paid person in the room most of the time.
