EVO-DEVO Huxley B. Mac. Oh Carroll, Carroll Gould, Stephen Jay yeah D-D-D-D-Davidson and Peter See One cell divide and decide on a thousand fates Did you ever figure how they know? B. Mac. We Are built of modules combined in a planned out way Each new piece must be told where to go Oh Now there's a science helping us to understand How our cells encode this architectural plan Signalling each other with genetic tools oh Oh yeah Wow Phenotype the interface for mouse and man Genotype the files and the subprograms What then are the switches, circuit boards and boot code? Evo-Devo Looking at the logic in the ways that we grow Every gene directed by a signal key code Proteins that can activate, enhance or veto Evo-Devo Signals are controlled by other genes that signal Calculating in a network labyrinthal Where the heart and liver and the hands and feet go Signal mapping tells each region what it ought to be yo With circuits so deeply built upon They're older than the Paleo The Paleozoic Era baby In a crucial pathway changes tend to get torpedoed Where they go calamity goes As this cyclopic sheep knows.. See down they cascade like a domino Like you and I drosophila The path that makes us optical Was laid a long long time ago Back before we blew up the cambrian like a bomb bomb Now my eye protein can make you see out of your bom bom And Hedgehog and its relatives like Indian and Sonic Set up set up in a gradient on segments embryonic Split forebrains and asymmetric parts depend upon it Flipping on genetic switches and logic From devo to evo Adult and embryo Mostly don't evolve in the genes of the genome Safer the mutation aimed at regulation Keep the building blocks and swap their activation From devo to evo Parts have alter egos Homologs evolved from repeats in the schema Switch a couple bases in the proper places You'll be watching flies grow legs out of their faces oh yeah Evo-Devo Stick around for Modern Synthesis the sequel Only by combining can a new theory grow Evolution and development amigos Evo-Devo Signals trigger patterns of complexity so Switching up the switches of a signalling node Gives a modular and simple way to evolve Look at how our spinal segments generate a neat row Built on a molecular clock One cycle, one vertebra One vertebra one vertebra baby Speeding up its rate is snakes' developmental cheat code That and where a lizard's feet grow They turn off distal aminos Evo-Devo This is how we go from single cells to people Every generation and in life primeval Life in variations endless and beautiful Badaboom From devo to evo Larva to mosquito Patterns are resolved as the signals proceed yo Map out a gene with a glow tag Kill it with a morpholino Short oligo morpholino baby From devo to evo Voyage of the Beagle Body plans evolve when proteins steer the genome In this manner life's beauty grows Aesthetica in vivo Evo-Devo

The 1998 surrealist psychological thriller stars Sean Gullette as a mathematician who becomes obsessed with searching for patterns in the universe as part of a quest for meaning. Twenty-five…

We’d like to show you a new way to create hand-drawn animation. So playful you’ll think it’s a toy, but it's secretly a robust app with a reimagined UI for animators and creators.

A speculative vision of the operating system, driven by humane design principles.

Pointing, eye contact, shared attention. A new form of computing that supports face-to-face conversation and learning.

Wow, wasn't expecting so much when I started editing this together. Easy to forget how differently we thought about these technologies only a year ago. Which was so different from a year before that. And the year before that.We're now in our 4th year of research, but this was our 1st year with so much support, and as a nonprofit, and we're really excited about it all!If you want to find out more about any of the projects shown, you can probably find them on http://elevr.com. Or if you want to contact the research group you can use the gmail address "elevirtual".Our group is part of HARC at YCR: https://harc.ycr.org

The primacy of words over images has deep roots in Western culture. But what if the two are inextricably linked in meaning-making? In this experiment in visual thinking, drawn in comics, Nick Sousanis defies conventional discourse to offer readers a stunning work of graphic art and a serious inquiry into the ways humans construct knowledge.

These representations, having been invented for static media such as paper, tap into a small subset of human capabilities and neglect the rest. Knowledge work means sitting at a desk, interpreting and manipulating symbols. The human body is reduced to an eye staring at tiny rectangles and fingers on a pen or keyboard.Like any severely unbalanced way of living, this is crippling to mind and body. But it is also enormously wasteful of the vast human potential. Human beings naturally have many powerful modes of thinking and understanding. Most are incompatible with static media. In a culture that has contorted itself around the limitations of marks on paper, these modes are undeveloped, unrecognized, or scorned.We are now seeing the start of a dynamic medium. To a large extent, people today are using this medium merely to emulate and extend static representations from the era of paper, and to further constrain the ways in which the human body can interact with external representations of thought.But the dynamic medium offers the opportunity to deliberately invent a humane and empowering form of knowledge work. We can design dynamic representations which draw on the entire range of human capabilities — all senses, all forms of movement, all forms of understanding — instead of straining a few and atrophying the rest.This talk suggests how each of the human activities in which thought is externalized (conversing, presenting, reading, writing, etc) can be redesigned around such representations.---Art by David Hellman.Bret Victor -- http://worrydream.com

How do you feel about learning or entering fields/industries where the state of the art is very advanced, there are lots of good tools, and the average professional is is highly sophisticated?— Sarah Constantin (@s_r_constantin) March 17, 2023

much HCI work assumes users come in w/ a fixed intent to accomplish a specific task & use tools to fulfill that intent as directly as possiblecreative tools challenge this view: creative intent is always formed *in conversation with* tools/materials https://t.co/5VbOu1EMv3— Max Kreminski (@maxkreminski) May 16, 2019
