The Helical Brew Crew is back with a new episode and also back on schedule with weekly releases. Enjoy!

In this episode: 

-Building out labs with automation in mind. What are the challenges and how are they being addressed. We also take a deep dive into some examples of both starting with a completely new facility versus a budget limited rework of an existing space.

-In the second half of the show, we switch gears into current events and how the recent longshoremen strike rekindled the "fear of automation" theme that seems to pop up alongside major labor strikes. We share some views on how this oversimplified and mostly irrational view is more political than it is real by taking a look how incredibly difficult it would be to replace labor in these jobs.
