Four leading researchers on bacterial computing in the @femsmicro.org Workshop on the the topic during the Congress—quite amazing talks by @angelgm.bsky.social, Yolanda Schaerli, Manish Kushwaha & Samgram Bagh. Do bacteria compute? Can we make them to compute wth our logic or do they have their own?
