The science and engineering of biological computation: from process to software to DNA-based neural networks
September 21, 2019 by Artem Kaznatcheev 1 Comment
In the earlier days of TheEGG, I used to write extensively about the themes of some of the smaller conferences and workshops that I attended. One of the first such workshops I blogged about in detail was the 2nd workshop on Natural Algorithms and the Sciences in May 2013. That spawned an eight post series that I closed with a vision for a path toward an algorithmic theory of biology. In the six years since, I’ve been following that path. But I have fallen out of the habit of writing summary posts about the workshops that I attend.
This week, I want to go through the shorter second day and the presentations by Luca Cardelli, Stephanie Forrest, and Lulu Qian.
As before, it is also important to note that this is the workshop through my eyes. So this retelling is subject to the limits of my understanding, notes, and recollection. And as I procrastinate more and more on writing up the story, that recollection becomes less and less accurate.
