Beautiful limbs! HCR?

To the receiver, it came across like you were super charged and full of self-motivation. Keep looking gorgeous 😂

looking forward to catch up with you and @philipcball.bsky.social there 🤓.

Shiny happy people ✨ Wish I could have been there too, looks like a great meeting!

Congratulations! It was much needed. Beatiful perspective.

Development is in good shape and in good hands! Congratulations for your work.

Congrats James, David, and the whole team! Great to see scRNA-seq getting closer to dynamical systems theory. Looking forward to diving into it this weekend, perfect distraction from the heat of Seville. 🔥

Looks great! Congratulazioni. 👏

Yes you are right! but maybe "meaning" for a dynamical system comes only in a context, which is just other dynamical systems. Perhaps we lack words to refer to dynamical systems that work all together across scales. I mean an organoid evolves towards the direction of an organ but without context...

But i the end, misusing these words, all that it does is to humble human exceptionalism, revealing shared principles across physical, chemical, biological, and human domains. And human beings need to be humbled a lot... So it is not that bad, I think.

2/2 While debates persist on whether such emergent trajectories imply agency, attributing "will" to self-organizing systems I think it is just because we lack language to describe such self-organizing behaviors.

1/2 This was already brought up by Aristotle, in his Physics (c. 350 BCE) with the teleological cause, or final cause, positing that organisms possess an entelechy: an inner drive toward their ideal form. For example, a bird strives to develop wings for flying, its entelechy guiding the process.
