- Happy to announce that @PrincetonUPress will be publishing "Evolution of Biological Information". Look for it in 2022. @AlisonKalett
- Sidney Brenner has passed away at the age of 92. Here's his letter to Ellsworth Dougherty, 1963 (in Sidney Brenner, A Biography by E. Friedberg). A giant.
- This is astonishing. You can date the time the Norse were in North America from trees they cut down that contain anomalously high C14 due to a cosmic ray event in the year 993! Counting rings, you get AD 1021.This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
- For ten years I’ve been chasing the information-theoretic foundation for the evolution of cooperation. Today, I’m confident that I found it. A formula that predicts the minimum amount of info necessary to cooperate. And simulations corroborate it.
- After watching this for three minutes straight, I decided that I probably had been hypnotized.Meet the ATP synthase, the amazing nanoscale machine at the origin of your life bit.ly/2nOxaoX | bit.ly/2nMRaZi
GIF - Amazing story: guy buys amateur telescope, sets it up to calibrate by taking pics of a galaxy every 20 seconds. A supernova explodes at that time, and he gets it all. Tells astronomers, who then point everything at it. Becomes co-author in Nature paper. nytimes.com/2018/02/21/sci…
- Don't forget to use code P325 to get 30% off!Now available, @ChristophAdami's The Evolution of Biological Information explains why information is the unifying principle that allows us to understand the evolution of complexity in nature.

- Very grateful to the International Society for Artificial Life @alifeofficial for bestowing their “Lifetime Achievement Award” on me tonight. This community is very special and I’m glad I could contribute. #Alife2019
- This piece is quite speculative, but it might be the most profound thing I have ever discovered.
- Just want everybody to know that for two years I have tried to solve a multi-variable Fokker-Planck equation with reflecting boundary conditions without detailed balance. It seemed impossible. Yet I finally achieved it (albeit in an approximation). Sweet.
