When I saw this paper about “Royalactin” in Nature [1], it was fascinating subject matter for one but I was impressed that it was a single author non theoretical original research article in a high impact journal. I thought it was baller. Have been trying to search for anything similar published in recent times and have come across empty. I feel it’s emblematic how impossible it is to make any great biology breakthrough nowadays as a lone wolf. But one can aspire!

The guy who published it seems kooky as well. Would love to interview him some day!

Now with LLM, that might not be far fetched.
I don't see how LLM would allow someone to do all of the experiments found in this paper. How do you think an LLM would promote more lone wolf science?

There's some solid microbiology here which underpins the quality of the science.
