She is still around as a directors fellow and is a resource as needed. Molecular biologist just wasn't working out in terms of progress - not sure what he is doing now - probably going back to neuroscience (I got him from the broad institute hoping his background could be usefully applied out of discipline in plant science) On Mon, Jun 18, 2018 at 11:40 AM jeffrey E. <[email protected]> wrote: not of of the ballpark , can talk later in the weekm, what happened to the two you let go On Mon, Jun 18, 2018 at 11:32 AM, Caleb Harper < > wrote: I've ordered it :) thx To do this id need to add depth to my bio team, that's by far my weakest team in the lab currently. I recently let contracts lapse on Arielle and my molecular biologist as it wasn't working out. I'd want to add the following team and would need to do a search to get the best. MIT won't let me hire PhD Research Scientists, and likely quality people wouldn't accept, without secure multiyear funding. I'd propose 500k a yr for 3 yrs with the expectation we evaluate progress after year one as to year 2 and 3. The transparent cost break down is: PhD plant physiologist - 80k base salary +56% mit research OH (none goes to my lab or ML) + 20% benefits = 149, 760 k total cost PhD plant biochemist - 100k base salary + 56% mit research OH + 20% benefits = 187k total cost Plant science tech (JR) - 40k * 20% administrative OH - 48k total cost 100k prototyping budget
