Well we’re not quite there yet, but I’d like to keep in contact with you regarding renting. My wife and I both have university association as well as private and non-proft relationships where we sit as PI or co-PI.

If nothing else I’d love to get into a call with you can chat about the state of the industry/ technology. Like I said, our work is primarily biogeochemical in nature, but we’ve got an ongoing conversation in our house about how we’re fundamentally limited by the tool-kits and culture of the domain. Its roots are largely in agriculture/ forestry and we are primarily interested in massively scaling the number of samples we can take, reducing the time it takes to get samples, increasing the various resolutions of sampling, and non-destructive sampling. PM me directly and I’ll shoot you my contact information.
