📸 Wish you were here! @NASAInSight sent home its first photo after #MarsLanding:
InSight’s view is a flat, smooth expanse called Elysium Planitia, but its workspace is below the surface, where it will study Mars’ deep interior.
Are we simply biological algorithms? Will genetic engineering increase wealth inequality? Is human immortality possible? Can we solve the climate crisis? What is the future of human creativity in a world of emerging AI? Who will teach robots ethics? #futurism#tech#science
Are we in a simulation? In their latest album “Simulation Theory,” Muse explores the simulation hypothesis and sources inspiration from science fiction. This album is an example of the power of human creative expression to capture the zeitgeist of our time. #future#tech#science
"The potential people who could have been here in my place
But who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara
Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton"
- Richard Dawkins
Hey all, I'm launching "The Future of Health" video interview series today! In this series, I explore the world of digital health, medtech, robotics and AI in healthcare, biometric trackers, and more. Subscribe to the Voxel Studios YouTube channel: https://t.co/0bTFVWLITK
Here's the genetic "alphabet" that spells out the instruction manual - DNA - that built you and the one that's keeping you alive and powering your creativity. Pretty important to get familiar with these nifty As, Ts, Gs, and Cs, wouldn't you agree?
“Germline editing may inadvertently transcribe our societies’ financial inequality into our genetic code—but it may also create a different kind of injustice." “A Crack in Creation” by Jennifer Doudna #genetics#genomics#future#ethics
"The original ancient text is written in the genomic DNA of every being alive today. That text is as old as life itself, and over 1030 copies of it are distributed around the earth, from 5 kilometers deep within the earth’s crust to the edge of our atmosphere..." - George Church
“We have now entered what I call ‘the digital age of biology,’ in which the once distinct domains of computer codes and those that program life are beginning to merge, where new synergies are emerging that will drive evolution in radical directions. - Craig Venter
“A new generation of artists, writing genomes as fluently as Blake and Byron wrote verses, might create and abundance of new flowers and fruit and trees and birds to enrich the ecology of our planet.” - Freeman Dyson #genomics#genetics#CRISPR#biotech#science#future

"During the very first talk that I’ve ever attended on computational creativity - when somebody in passing mentioned that a computer can be a co-creative partner - I thought I need to create myself a songwriting collaborator [...]” https://t.co/W7hlttfNAS
How does the future of songwriting look? In this video, I interview Dr. Maya Ackerman, Co-Founder & CEO of Alysia. Learn about the origin story of Alysia, a composer AI, and how it makes songwriting easier for everyone @withAlysia https://t.co/JRn3Oi7H77
Want to know how Hirekind came to be? Need some #culturebuilding tips? If yes to either, you should check out the new interview of our founder Xuan Yue, hot off the griddle today from @VoxelCreative! https://t.co/5aPxd2gh2N
