Groundbreaking new research by Michael Levin is being announced here for the first time. This is along with the first authors Angela Tung and Gizem Gumuskaya of the research, on their respective research papers. I’m honored to bring this to you, for the first time as a world exclusive.
CORRECTION: The Hyper-Embryo paper is in Nature Communications (not “NATURE”)

Keep in mind, we're dealing with TWO innovations here. Angela Tung is the first co-author on the Hyper-Embryo paper, and Gizem Gumuskaya is the first co-author on the Anthrobot paper. This is huge news for both of these young women. To those who don't know, it's significant be a first co-author. Especially on research like this. Especially at their age. Congratulations to them both.

Prediction : Michael and his team win a Nobel Prize in the next 10 years.
Dear Curt, I would like to pass the following comment to Angela, Gizem, and Michael
"Where is the Information?"
Dear Gizem, Angela, and Michael
My conviction is that the information is not transmitted through a Ca++ pulse, nor specific signals. These signals trigger a reaction, an action. But the information must be in the Configuration of the Ensemble, in the Configuration of the Collective, or the Macromolecular Configuration, at each particular time point. Sure there will be many types of signals, with different consequences, in subtle ways and so on, but a whole subtle language?
As with so many processes, there is energy, there are constraints, atributes and properties of the "agents", and a certain order or pattern emerges from the rules. These configurations provide new constraints iteratively.
I am not a fan of Cellular Automata, but at each time step the information is not contained in the rule alone, it is contained in the step according to the rule, in context, in the configuration of the whole at that particular time point.
Best, Luis.
Congratulations to all three and the two. As stupid as this may sound and it it, I have developed a definite reaction to this upward tilt in cadence and tone. I will read the papers. Congratulations, again.

One step closer to replicants.
Zenobots sounds save and interesting where i herd that before🤣🥺
Well come new flood, soon whole human race is chimeras and nephilim.. dont f*ck whit creation!!😢
Even though I'm not a biologist, this was so interesting! As I listened, these flash questions came to me on how the principles they were talking about with a single embryo compared to a group of embryos could be applied to humanity in general, our behaviors, and the collective communication that happens within humankind's collective consciousness. Some very interesting thought experiments came out of that. Back to their direct topic, who else is as great a Michael Levin fan as I am? Thank you, once again, Curt for bringing an interesting topic to us and posing thoughtful questions in such a way that engages even the 'outsiders' like myself. Kudos.
I love that Chatroom. Very good
I've never been overly interested in biology until I saw the first episode of TOE with Michael. His work is incredibly interesting and could be a huge leap forward for humanity. Thanks again Curt, for getting such great people and preparing so thoroughly while giving your guests the freedom to tell their own story.
Absolutely incredible work here, thanks, Curt. Incredible al around, exceptional humans and brilliant science. THIS IS HOW ITS DONE, PHYSICISTS. LOL JK. Not really though.
Oh joy! We can possibly keep people alive even longer now!
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
💗We love your work so Much 💗

The anthrobot sounds like it could be useful tackling dementia type diseases early on.
Any Levin talk is an instant click for me.
Body language says a lot
Curt, once again another outstanding insighit into a field of hardcore science.
You excel at interviewing people and make it understandable to even the densest of people.
I for one know I'll have to listen through this at least once or twice more to fully grasp what just happened
Gizem you're gd pretty!
(I'm sorry fellas but… low IQ high testosterone…it really messes with my head)
Anyone here experience having morgellons?
