Better origin(s) of life research through collaboration across disciplines The emergence of life on Earth poses interconnected questions: how and why did life begin? Where else might it exist? How can we create synthetic life in the lab from scratch? How is life best defined...

The Origins of Life is an inspiring field, bringing many disciplines together. We recently wrote a review that aims at promoting #collaboration , or so we hope.

How molecules copy themselves with fewer errors – Sciworthy Researchers found that molecules can self-replicate with fewer errors by selecting similar ingredients.

If I could go to a Halloween party, I would go as a doctor and repeatedly tell people "your labs are fine" "it's stress" "you're just deconditioned". I would whisper it in their ear.

My new piece in @noemamag.com - Why the origin of life isn't just about self-replicating chemistry...

Wow !

The question isn’t "why does Signal use AWS?" It’s to look at the infrastructural requirements of any global, real-time, mass comms platform and ask how it is that we got to a place where there’s no realistic alternative to AWS and the other hyperscalers. 3/

Happy 71st anniversary CERN 🎉

#OnThisDay 71 years ago, twelve European countries came together to establish what has become the world’s largest #ParticlePhysics laboratory, home to the #LHC, birthplace of the World Wide Web and where the #HiggsBoson was discovered thirteen years ago.

I am one of the #candidates in the #elections to #ISAL board.

We are excited to announce the Artificial Life, Intelligence, Complexity & Evolution (𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗘) workshop. This first edition will be hosted in Copenhagen on the first week of February.

We will soon be announcing the guest speakers—Stay tuned!

Check our website for more information: aliceworkshop.org

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up
