Gel brain and body - What if intelligence does not arise from a brain controlling a body, but from a electroactive hydrogel that computes and moves simultaneously?

Project Overview. Life begins as a single cell. At this stage, there is no distinction between brain and body, no predefined controller, and no specialised architecture for computation or actuation. Read more

Multilevel selection on transposition rates in cancer

Cancer is an evolutionary process. Cells in a tumour vary due to mutation, and so over many generations they adapt in response to both intrinsic selective pressures (such as anoxia) and extrinsic selective pressures (such as chemotherapy). Read more
