Most labs and corporations have employees. Go to your bank and see what size loan you can afford. Additionally, explore grant opportunities local to you such as those listed by Matthew Lesko (https://leskolocalgrants.com/)
You’ll need employees and infrastructure. Since you haven’t defined what sort of laboratory or corporation you are, hire an HR representative to explore the employees you’ll need.
Next, hire an attorney as a retainer, in case legal issues arise, but you do need to incorporate to be a corporation, so that should be the top of your to do list.
Most labs and corps make money. Hire an accountant.
Now you need to hire a CEO. It can’t be you, as you are still learning how to be a corporation or laboratory. Now you need money to pay for all these people. Ask the CEO what are your values, your mission statement, your long term vision, 5-10 Key Performance Indicators, and your 3 to 5 year plan to pay these people.
Hire a Chief Information Officer. Your HR person and CIO should be working with you to identify your Standard Operating Procedures for the plan the CEO has. Your CIO needs to analyze your facilities for a data center and workstations, and wireless access points. You need to keep data because as Adam Savage once said on Mythbusters, “Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down” And you should store the data on your server.
Now remind yourself you have only so many days before all these people want to be paid. Make sure you are either making enough cash or have cash on hand to pay them. If you do, bask in the success, learning from your successful team. If you can’t afford to pay them, it’s time to downsize, so tell the CEO to fire everyone, even you, and leave that sucker hanging on the line, because he’s the CEO of your company that’s insolvent.
If we could just adopt Asimov’s three laws of robotics to computers and robots, we’d be better.
* First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
-
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
-
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law
Now someone will argue harm isn’t specified (physical harm? Mental harm? Financial harm?), but I interpret that as any harm.

Tyson, the meatpacking giant that employs about 3,200 workers in the town, will leave all of them without jobs when the facility closes on Jan. 20.

While expanding access to Asia, Brazil also made significant inroads into the U.S. market. In May alone, it shipped 175 million pounds of beef to the U.S., five times the volume of May 2024.
All they need to do is learn Portuguese and relocate to Brazil. FTFY.
46·1 month agoThey observed that birds that hatched during the pandemic, when the campuses became empty and there was less food waste to feed on, had beaks with higher bill length and slimmer structure, similar to the wildland birds. However, after the COVID-19 restrictions were lifted and people started trickling back to campus and food waste became ample. Birds born during this period reflected this shift, exhibiting shorter, thicker beaks typical of urban juncos.
