From YouTube: DevoWorm (2023, #7): DevoLearn, Apoptosis + Mechanosensation, C. elegans GNNs, Network Universality

Description

Progress on DevoLearn/DevoGraph and reviewing Huggingface and Github. Multicolored embryo segmentation maps. Paper highlighting the proliferation of Mechanosensation-competent cells vs. Apoptotic cells in morphogenesis. Discussion on incommensurability (Thomas Kuhn) in different fields of biological science. Paper on applying GNNs (Graph Neural Networks) to movement of C. elegans adult movement patterns and stability. How a growing phenotype (blades of grass, stalk of wheat) maintain upright growth through coupled positive feedbacks. Paper and discussion on universality, rank-order trees and networks, and the hierarchy/heterarchy distinction. Attendees: Richard Gordon, Susan Crawford-Young, Sushmanth Reddy Mereddy, Gautham Krishnan, and Bradly Alicea
