Save the date! The annual #Conference on #ArtificialLife - #ALIFE2025 will take place in the heart of Kyoto, Japan, from 6-10 October 2025. The conference logo, official website launch, and more details coming soon!

What are the bounds of complexity in living systems? How can synthetic biology and bioengineering be used to interrogate emergent properties or information processing in cells & organisms? Check my conversation with Michael Levin @drmichaellevin youtube.com/watch?v=lTzBW_9f…

Bigger problem is they prioritize their own fame and prosperity over advancing science or health of the community!
It’s a for-fame industry that pretends to be a for-society not-for-profit while hurting thousands of trainees in the process

⭐️We are seeking proposals to host the Conference on Artificial Life in 2026 and 2027. ⭐️
🟢Conferences should be a hybrid format.
🟢No geographical constraints.
🟢Support from ISAL RE: conference infrastructure + submission reviews.

Excited to present our paper in @Nature, extending noninvasive optogenetics beyond the brain to investigate an age-old question: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
With @Ritchie_Chen, @KarlDeisseroth, the D-lab team and many others!
As I'm getting closer to finally being done with this video, I think I owe it to yall to share a page from my acting list for this video
Filming these and editing them in is usually the last step before the actual video release, so we're getting close!
Probably 1-2 week off
Wanna have fun and do some science in Lisbon this October ?
Join us for a cool conference on Consciousness and Embodied Selfhood in Humans and Artificial Agents 😎

It was a really nice surprise(!) to be nominated for the Best Paper Award at @acii_conf, amongst some excellent contributions!
We stuck our neck out a bit, chartering into some new territories, so it's nice that it was so positively received. Congratulations to the winners! <3
It's been a few years (2022??) since I've actually *given* a (research) presentation at a conference, so I'm pretty excited to talk about our paper, "Surprise! Using Physiological Stress for Allostatic Regulation Under the Active Inference Framework", at @acii_conf tomorrow. 😍

Looking forward to attending and presenting at @acii_conf in Glasgow next week!
We have a few papers accepted there, so it's going to be a busy few days.
I'm also looking forward to getting my virtual agents fix at @ACM_IVA which will be co-hosted at Glasgow.

TOMORROW at 10:30am JST!
👾 What would you do if you were suddenly transported to a discretized world? 👾
Next week, Q. Tyrell Davis will show us how a certain coarse fabric of reality is necessary for agents to emerge and persist.
Don't miss out! Aug 22 @ 10:30am JST 👉 youtube.com/live/wiZ6mYkKhts
I used to think that in order to be taken seriously as a scientist, I had to maintain a sense of impartiality and professionalism irl and online, avoiding controversy.
As I mature, I have come to appreciate that we simply cannot be separated from our lived experiences..

As long as journals are charging thousands of dollars in APCs and expecting free labor from expert peer reviewers, this will keep getting more common.
Publishing can't claim to be an ethics-driven industry when it is so transparently obvious to everyone it's all a big grift.
I am an editor-in-chief for an open-access journal. A submitted paper had a reviewer that contacted the author and asked for cash in return for a favorable review. Thanks to the author for calling this to our attention. #publishing #ethics
