Why cellular computations challenge our design principles.

We write about computational theory, information, living cells, complexity, computers, evolution... I really enjoyed writing this piece on #biocomputation. Kudos to Lewis & Bruno. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I am a bit skeptical here I guess... At least when it sort of matches the lego brick metaphor in #synbio.

1st evolution session of the day at #ALIFE2025. Our story on evolvability by Pablo Japón. In evolution, it is not only the visible that matters!

#Judo at Enshin Dojo today. Wonderful place and most brilliant people!

What a 2nd day! A lot of complexity metrics, algorithmic probability and evolution - and a bit more on noise! My two cents: apart from theory (pure maths), the physical substrate (silicon vs living) used to run algorithms would re-define a few things within the above. #ALIFE2025

My first day at #ALIFE2025 was about 1) noise and 2) information. Noise as a perturbation that pushes a system outside viability, or as a resource for computation. Two views that are not the same but complementary. Information leads to (is?) correlation and knowledge (memory?). Most inspiring talks!

Making the most of Kyoto after a great #ALIFE2025 first day. Here training with the Kyoto University #Judo Club!

I hear new definitions of evolution and open endedness every now and then. I wonder if the definition itself is evolving.

Off to #ALIFE conference @alife2025.bsky.social in Kyoto! Although I've been involved in many, this is the first ALIFE I attend since Odense 2012 😅. Pablo Japon will be presenting our work on evolvability in #synbio - Wed at 9 in the Auditorium.

Pleased to announce that our book on the evolution of biological agency is now available, thanks to @templetonfdn.bsky.social It condenses +2 years of discussions between a philosopher and a biochemist, including our conversations in the Jardí Botànic @uv.es

Breaking News: Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most revered conservationists, died at 91. Her discoveries in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behaved in the wild broke new ground and represented what was called “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.” nyti.ms/42kpGxt

¡Qué bonita está Madrid esta tarde!

Wow!! This work is great - I'll need to dig out some old ideas on "quantum synthetic biology". This from our 2019 cellular supremacy paper:

Tomorrow, Monday 18 at 2PM, join us at room 131 for "The future meets the beginning: Synthetic biology, evolution, and the origin of life", which I'll be co-chairing with Evrim Fer and Katusmi Hagino. Both amazing topic and speakers ! :-D #ESEB25

Brilliant news here! Our manuscript on evolvability was accepted for presentation at @alife2025.bsky.social. So there is a new item in the Lab's conference agenda: #ALIFE Kyoto! More on this coming soon...

🚨 Israeli forces have killed hundreds of starving Palestinians seeking food in Gaza. These are not isolated incidents; these are war crimes. Our latest investigation lays out the evidence. #Gaza #WarCrimes

Next in Lab's conference agenda: Designer Biology! www.efbiotechnology.org/designerbiol... Paula Múgica has a poster on her recently published quorum sensing tools, and Crislaine Rocha will talk about environmental biosensors as input to logic gates.
Designer Biology
Designer Biology Conference, 29–31 July 2025 in Newcastle, UK. This event gathers bioengineering and synthetic biology scientists to explore applications like protein engineering and materials.

How do we know that a physical system is "computing"? What do we mean by that? This is an important question within complex systems science, and here's a great research @royalsocietypublishing.org paper that explores the problem royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1...
