Can learning and cognition emerge without neurons? Here's a great review of how physical systems can implement neural-like complexity. Thanks to @RichardWatson90 for pointing me to this conceptual framework. @drmichaellevin @UCLALuskin annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10…

Programming cells isn’t really too different from programming computers except that the coding language isn’t Python or C . It’s the language of biology. Hear a biologist describe this work on The Joy of Why podcast. listen.quantamagazine.org/jo… Transcript: quantamagazine.org/can-we-pr…

My lab is moving to #JuliaLang, and I’ll be putting together some R => Julia tips for our lab and others who are interested. Here are a few starter facts. Feel free to tag along! Julia draws inspiration from a number of languages, but the influence of R on Julia is clear.

which explains why a brainless non-neuronal organism like @realSlimeMold also shows chemotactic response to neurotransmitters
The chemical precursors for neurotransmitters appear to have evolved before even the first animals did. @vcallier reports: quantamagazine.org/brain-sig…

I am still getting accustomed to the fact that "It" happened yesterday! But, the reality is that "it" did happen!! And, this couldn't have been possible without the help of my advisor @sjmgarnier and mentors @ProfGrahamUofS and @ChrisRReid1 (1/2)

As an assignment, I asked the students taking my Evo Bio course to make a meme on some course-related topic. The students enjoyed it so much that some made multiple memes just for fun. I am sharing a few of these. Most of them are downright hilarious😆

The single-celled slime mold Physarum polycephalum continuously moves its many nuclei around its cytoplasm but somehow still manages to express different genes in specific places. elifesciences.org/articles/6…

If you, or an undergraduate student you know is interested in working on the coolest biosensor system ever, apply for the 2022 Summer REU Program with the @sjmgarnier Swarm Lab at @NJIT. It's 10 weeks of paid ($600/week) research! (Link below👇) @NSF

Have you ever wondered if the neuronal voltage resonance you observe with sine waves will show up for spikes, or square waves? Or perhaps if you used noise instead? What about the spikes and spiking resonance? We discuss this and more in our new Biol Cybern paper, check it out!

I am so deeply saddened to share that on of my PhD advisors & long time friend E.O. Wilson passed away yesterday. He was truly an inspiration & had such a prolific and important scientific career. Thank you for being my advocate, hero, & friend. You will be deeply missed Ed.
