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

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

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.

👾 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..
+1. If you choose to identify as a scientist, then my belief is that this comes with a responsibility to enact socio-political change. Your role as a scientist = trying to make the world a slightly better place for future generations, regardless of your domain of expertise.

...and that engaging with socio-political actions can look very different for different people. For me, and in light of events here this week, it means helping to defend my community both intellectually & physically, from uneducated fascists who are intent on violence & chaos.

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
