Besides funding, are there things other people could provide to help your group succeed? Are there particular types of people you’d be excited to collaborate with, get mentorship/advice from, etc?
Thanks Akash. Speaking for myself, I have plenty of experience supervising MSc and PhD students and running an academic research group, but scientific institution building is a next-level problem. I have spent time reading and thinking about it, but it would be great to be connected to people with first-hand experience or who have thought more deeply about it, e.g.
People with advice on running distributed scientific research groups
People who have thought about scientific institution building in general (e.g. those with experience starting FROs in biosciences or elsewhere)
People with experience balancing fundamental research with product development within an institution
I am seeking advice from people within my institution (University of Melbourne) but Timaeus is not a purely academic org and their experience does not cover all the hard parts.
Congrats on launching!
