I tremendously enjoyed Matthew Cobb’s definitive new biography of Crick. It was hard to put down and provides many new perspectives. My review of it will appear in Science later this week.

Received the cover design for my new book ‘On the Future of Species’ which is about the convergence of AI-informed genome design and genome synthesis. It will be published by Bloomsbury in the UK on 12 February 2026 and by the MIT Press in the U.S. a few months later.

We have neglected our ‘artificial children’ De Kai states in his excellent new book Raising AI. Like errant children, AIs need to be provided with a moral compass and will need to be made mindful if we wish them to embody Enlightenment values. My review of his book is published today in Science.

Artificial Biological Intelligence (ABI) is the ability: (i) to predict the phenotype computed by a genome, (ii) to define a genome sequence capable of computing a phenotype, (iii) to construct a genome sequence of desired content, and (iv) to ‘boot up’ a genome. It will become biology’s North Star.
