Who invented PCR? If you're thinking Kary Mullis, guess again! According to this intriguing article, fast tidal cycling caused by the moon in earth's early history was the original instance of PCR, initiating the first replication of DNA-like polymers. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Incredibly excited to share our work & to be featured on the cover of Science Advances ! With Michael Levin @kaplan_lorax Megan Sperry & the team, we were able to kickstart long-term limb regeneration in non-regenerative animals. Check out our work here ➡️tinyurl.com/7ft8kdws

Cool new paper from our group+collaborators in which memory isn't encoded by the weights between different neuron (i.e. synaptic strengths), but instead in the temporal delays between neuronal firing, providing an explicit insight into the temporal structure underlying learning.

Cool, witty blog post from my colleague Erik Hoel about the black-box problem with AI.

Super happy to see our #bioelectric #cancer work moving towards human: mdpi.com/2072-6694/14/6… - electroceutical candidates for glioblastoma. Lots more to do! Juanita Mathews fabfems.org/users/juanita-… , Franz Kuchling Jen Pan, David Baez-Nieto, Miranda Diberardinis

Our most recent paper with the wonderful Chris Fields and Michael Levin is out! mdpi.com/1099-4300/24/5… It shows how systems with metacognitive capabilities, based on a structural definition of metaprocessing and mathematical and computational observations, emerge naturally!

This article suggests that green-blue algae are photovoltaic and could be used in alternative batteries. The latter is most likely unrealistic, but I wonder if other symbiotic organisms evolved to use their electron output, e.g. coral reefs?Michael Levin sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Love the interplay between the information theoretic definition of empowerment (how much your actions influence later sensations) and morphogenesis, showing that more empowered cells in a NCA model achieve improved coordination with other cells and hence better morphogenesis.

Sounds pretty neat! Could this be useful for molecular-resolution models of cell biology?

New preprint: active inference, morphogenesis, and computational psychiatry! Leo Pio-Lopez, Franz Kuchling, Angela Tung, and Giovanni Pezzulo psyarxiv.com/4gp6c/

New preprint! 🎉 Cognition is a multiscale web of dynamic information processing (neural & immune), distributed across complex cellular and network systems, operating across the entire body, and not just in the brain Fab teamwork with Michael Levin 😎 psyarxiv.com/fgcy5

Für alle deutschsprachige hier, (or for anyone who just wants to know what "basal cognition" and "bioelectricity" sound like in German) ich hatte ein wunderbares Gespräch mit Max and Matthias from MIXED über die Ursprünge von Intelligenz (genauer Kognition) in der Biologie!

Now that's a cool idea for a science project with your kid at home! iflscience.com/physicists-fou…

Cool tracking system that uses a mirror to move the light reflected to the camera so that it always stays centered on the tracked object. Perhaps applicable to tracking of zebrafish and tadpoles while under a microscope?

Some light science background on mind altering fungi infections in humans for anyone watching "Last of us" right now. Sorry about the ad placement in the end there,but the video itself is decent. Could the Cordyceps Fungus Really Take Over? youtu.be/jM5jf-8ekVA via YouTube

After 1.5 years of hard work, I am thrilled to share with you Φ-SO - a Physical Symbolic Optimization package that uses deep reinforcement learning to discover physical laws from data . Here is Φ-SO discovering the analytical expression of a damped harmonic oscillator👇 [1/6]

New preprint, primary data - really excited about it: osf.io/ps987/ by PhD student Angela Tung, former undergraduate Ananya Pavuluri, Megan Sperry Patrick McMillen Wesley P Clawson Vaibhav Pai Franz Kuchling + S. Bulatao, M. Yue, R. Martinez Flores. I present to you, CEMA:

Can algae be surprised? Apparently, yes; and they don't like it. New preprint is up, from Franz Kuchling's PhD work, with a great team of students: Isha Singh, Mridushi Daga, Susan Zec, and Alexandra Kunen: osf.io/preprints/osf/… "Uncertainty Minimization and Pattern
