Very excited to share new work out today in @natchembio.nature.com on a new approach - FACES - for selectively imaging of phospholipids and other biomolecules at spatial resolutions down to individual membrane leaflets (1/n) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We had a lovely symposium earlier today on self-assembly and self-organization 🦋 Thank you to everyone for making #EPSA25 such a great place!

Organisational Accounts of Malfunction: The Dual-Order Approach and the Normative Field Alternative

Silicon Valley is run by people who genuinely think the world as we know it is going to end in the next few decades. Many also WANT this to happen: they WANT the biological world to be replaced by a new digital world. They WANT "posthumans" to take the place of humans. A 🧵:

The team is growing - last month we welcomed our new PhD researcher Hilde Langengen Teigen. Hilde will explore the explanatory role and scope of the predictive processing framework by identifying self-assembly processes in the brain in relation to brain function. 🦋

Are you interested in the philosophical and theoretical foundations of life? Then consider applying for a postdoc in our #AssemblingLife ERC project 🦋 We now have two positions open! Feel free to get in touch.

This is a very NEAT piece about biomolecular condensates from @philipcball.bsky.social chronicling fascinating discoveries. On the philosophical implications of a lot of this you should read @djnicholson.bsky.social.
A brief ego thread on how this relates to my work on genomes follows. 1/4

So happy to announce I'll begin a Ph.D. Fellowship in Oslo from January as part of the project 'AssemblingLife'!

I'll be investigating self-assembly processes in living systems, its explanatory features and relationship to self-organization.

Hello! I am a philosopher trained in process-ontology for special science issues. Especially interested in the theoretical foundations of complex systems. Currently working on the relationship between organizational models of life and biological normativity while applying for Ph.D. scholarships.
