Done!

 

Probably done in the easiest way possible.

It makes sense to give the lower and upper bands when generating rows. Might as well give the exact date time at which max density is reached if you're using logs. I should probably redo with an iterative macro for practice.

Took a non-macro approach, and it's similar to many. I used a dynamic select to choose just the fields ending in _date

Followed what I learned from   Live Training: Build Your First Iterative Macro!

Solved this 2 different ways - one of which is a single tool solution.

 

Spoiler

First way was to do a generate rows and then just multiply each out

Second takes advantage of the fact that this is a power law, so a single formula using log base 2 solves this

I realize I probably didn't need to make this a Macro here, but I originally started out trying to make it an Iterative Macro solution, perhaps I'll try and submit a second solution using that method later.

Cool story about Henrietta Lacks, I had heard of her previously but never read to much into it. I recommend the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" to anyone interested if they haven't read it.
