BotAlgorithme is a project that aims at making plant computational models accessible to an audience as large as possible. We are convinced that plant models are unique tools for teaching complex plant processes. Currently, our preferred process is the regulation of the root water intake.

"FIRST SELF-REPLICATING SYNTHETIC BACTERIAL CELL"

"aims to design the first every fully biological (no silicon components) amorphous massively-parallel robot"

'"Argentine ants living in vast numbers across Europe, the US and Japan belong to the same inter-related colony, and will refuse to fight one another."

ok, wow, omg ! we're well living in a damn sci-fi book

those stuff you see before your eyes

microformats as proteins, webistes as finite-state machines, abstraction modifier drugs, etc...

Fetishism for a piece of technology. You would never grab a frog and show it to people saying "this is wonderful biology!" or "Look at this biology!" We have developed a very mechanistic view of technology.

"trying to grow pork meat in the laboratory" -> victimeless meat !

Biomimetic Soft-Bodied Robots (Science Fiction in the News)

"Half of the world's human population is infected with Toxoplasma. Parasites in the body - and the brain. Remember that."

" (...) these systems are inspired by in-depth research into artificial-life and digital biology playing on our receptivity for life like phenomena"

how toxoplasma influences the human behaviour - and maybe countries cultures
