What is your name?

What is your research field/discipline (e.g., molecular biology, organic chemistry, etc.)?

What tools and programs do you currently use to analyze your data?

Do you currently use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude.) in your research workflow? If yes, how? If no, what holds you back?

What are the most painful or time-consuming parts of your research?

How do you currently share data/results with collaborators?

Suppose it is 2030. We have self-driving cars, a Mars colony, and unlimited research funds. How would you collect data, analyze it, and publish it?

Any other research frustrations, tool ideas, or thoughts you'd like to share?
