Here is video of 1st lecture at College de France on Biological computation 😊. I defend the necessity to access Algorithmic & Computational levels of analysis in cell & dev. biol. proposed by David Marr in neuroscience. Logic & Function matter 🤩.

@pickover How should we know/tell/conclude it has consciousness ?

100 years old. Still the sharpest mind in the room.

Jean-Pierre Serre, youngest Fields Medalist in history (age 27), first Abel Prize winner, and the “Mozart of mathematics,” turned 100 on September 15 and is still lecturing, still writing on the blackboard, still shaping the field.

Happy 100th to the greatest living mathematician. The rest of us are just trying to keep up.

An expert is a person who has found out by his own painful experience all the mistakes that one can make in a very narrow field.

If you want to know whether a system is being driven or at equilibrium, you need its probability current.

Getting this from actual dynamical trajectory data has been the hard part.

To help solve this I've been developing a
Delaunay-Voronoi Fokker-Planck (DVFP) instrument.

DVFP turns scattered, irregular, time-ordered phase-space observations into an empirical Fokker-Planck description.

The distinction is simple:
Geometry tells us what is nearby. Time tells us what happens next, and these are handled properly in this construction.

From here we obtain density, drift, diffusion, and probability current, which is what detailed balance and entropy production are built from.

Animation: As the underlying dynamics evolve, the DVFP instrument adapts its local weighting while preserving the temporal ordering of the observations.

A very thoughtful lecture, unsurprisingly, by @pgodfreysmith He’s a pretty good neuroscientist for a philosopher :-)
Do also read his ‘Other Minds’

I've just started my 2nd lab at RIKEN BDR in Kobe, Japan!

This small, focused group will compare and manipulate species-specific time and shape, in collaboration with our Dresden lab.

Interested in the stem cell zoo? Get in touch!

La nouvelle est passée presque totalement inaperçue dans les médias français, en raison du Mondial de foot et des incendies : l’intelligence artificielle a réussi à déchiffrer entièrement un rouleau de papyrus carbonisé d’Herculanum, aussi fragile que de la cendre de cigarette, sans le dérouler et sans même y toucher ! On y a découvert un traité philosophique sur le stoïcisme. Il a fallu des trésors d’ingéniosité et de technologie pour parvenir à ce résultat. Le rêve est donc devenu réalité : bientôt, on pourra lire en un temps record les centaines de rouleaux de cette bibliothèque calcinée par le Vésuve il y a 2000 ans, et la littérature gréco-latine s’enrichira d’autant de textes inédits, de nouvelles tragédies ou épopées peut-être. Dans cet été déprimant, voilà un vrai rayon de lumière. Vive la science !

An auspicious day, today, 14 July for a semi-final 🇫🇷. May the better team win!

[TLecuitLab @LecuitLab]

We just celebrated with alumni & current members the 25yrs anniversary of our group @IBDM and @centuri_ls. Lots of joy to witness the scientific paths of so many talented ex members. Big smiles, laughs & fun 🤩. So thankful for having had such colleagues. Let’s keep going 😊

[TLecuitLab @LecuitLab]

It was wonderful to host Mukund Thattai from @NCBS_bangalore to give a seminar @centuri_ls. Thank you for entertaining us on how information is encoded at the cell surface. 🙏🏼

Visiting Duke Univ. yesterday. What a treat to be hosted by Akankshi Munjal (former PhD std) 🤩 and spending time with fantastic trainees & wonderful faculty, such as
Stefano di Talia. Many thanks for the invitation 🙏🏼. A place full of talent & energy.

[TLecuitLab @LecuitLab]

Many thanks Nicoletta Petridou @petridou_ni from @embl Heidelberg for visiting us @centuri_ls and giving a truly exciting talk on cell division timing and phase transition during embryogenesis 🤩! Developmental biology is really cool 😎

5.5 years and two babies later, my postdoctoral work is finally out in Cell today! So very grateful to everyone who made this possible.
