You are not learning biology yet and you are not writing a simulator yet. You are building the cockpi…
THE NEXT BLOCK
Saturday sandbox · after SciPy documentation for scipy.integrate.solve_ivp (the solver you will use); read the "Examples"
Pioreactor project docs (pioreactor.com) — see a real, open-source mini bioreactor with optical density and temperature sensors; it makes "online variables" tangible
In: LABLOOP-W01 Notebook
By Sunday you should be able to say: “I know exactly what I will open on Monday and why every file in my cockpit exists.”
