Mitochondria are beautifully dynamic

This has such a strong effect upon me. The depth is craaaazy.

Nothing is caused by its effects. But some things are caused by the creation of knowledge, which isn't in turn caused by those things. David Deutsch

There is no such thing as direct experience; there is only ever interpreted experience. And so, what we have done to gain our best access to reality is, we have not brought ourselves closer to experience; we have put better and better theories in between us and the experience.

.Michael Levin has been studying bioelectricity since a teenager. When Mike Levin was an undergrad, he compiled a bibliography of everything that had been written in bioelectricity and sent it to Ken Robinson, a pioneer scientist in the field. Ken looked at it and remarked:

“The papers leading to my 2016 Lasker prize were published more than 10y ago. Most would be considered quaint, preliminary and barely publishable today. One would today be criticized for failing to include a mechanism and animal experiments” nature⁩ nature.com/articles/54538…

The future of civilization depends entirely on what we think and do. If civilization fails, that won’t be something that just happens to us. It’ll be the consequence of choices that people have made. And if civilization survives, then that will be because people have succeeded in

From elements, to side/functional groups, to molecules, to macromolecules, we see the hierarchy of the construction of cells. Learn more at smart-biology.com #biology #science #3D #animation #EdTech

One week left for our NanoNeuro online symposium! Still time to register!

The moral component of the Spaceship Earth metaphor is therefore somewhat paradoxical. It casts humans as ungrateful for gifts which, in reality, they never received. And it casts all other species in morally positive roles in the spaceship’s life-support system, with humans as

“Arguing away the existence of novelty, and therefore of free will, is incoherent. It’s literally infinitely ambiguous.” — David Deutsch

Gap junctions represent the means by which all animals connect cells into functional organisms! …so this conference is not so niche as might seem. It is actually foundational research for all of multicellular animal life and human health.

This has been a great conference so far. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to present amongst the luminaries of the gap junction research group. I’ve had a number of scientifically valuable conversations, it is great to see so many people sharing unpublished breakthroughs.

Researchers David Shackelford, Roberto Zoncu + Rushika M. Perera are using advanced techniques to track interactions inside cells. Here you can see mitochondria (🟢) + lysosomes (🔴) interact, they impact cell health, behavior & survival.

The whole notion of "Write, Read, Edit" as some great driver of progress in biology is incredibly misguided. Yes, DNA sequencing and synthesis costs have fallen rapidly. What have we gotten for it? The vast majority of strains we make don't work, because we don't understand the
