Dennis Ritchie demonstrated the social value of tooling beyond all doubt. The Life Sciences hasn't had its Dennis Richie moment yet and it is a reason why cancer therapy hasn't advanced as far it could.

The Life Sciences desperately needs computer scientists to learn their workflow and build the tooling for better more replicable science.
