B
Busy
with
some
of
the
tasks
like
I
got
some
internship
just
doing
that:
okay,
good
yeah,
yeah
and
currently
working
on
the
digital
bachelor's
project.
Okay,
yeah-
and
can
you
tell
me
what
is
the
specific
task
of
the
project
like
what
is
our
primary
motive
to
doing
this
project?
I
asked
puncher
about
that,
like
he
told
me
that
to
detecting
several
diatom
like
specific
movement
and
all
other
patterns
in
that
project,
so
is
that
the
motive.
C
Yeah
I'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
later
in
more
detail,
but
yeah
we'll
talk
about
it
but
yeah.
Basically,
that's
the
the
idea,
yeah
so
nice
to
see
you
again,
susan
hello,.
A
C
D
C
And
I've
been
so
I've
been
communicating
with
a
number
of
you
on
slack
about
your
proposals
and
other
things
and
I'm
getting
to
them,
I'm
working
on
it
as
we
go
along,
and
so
I
mean
I'm
just
giving
comments
in
documents
and
answering
messages,
so
you'll
be
getting
those
soon.
So
welcome
to
the
meeting,
I
don't
know
how
many
I
mean
people
will
be
coming
in.
C
I
guess
over
the
next,
maybe
10
minutes
or
so
usually
that's
how
it
works
and
we'll
just
get
right
into
some
of
the
materials
here,
hello,
tom,
hey.
How
are
you
good?
How
are
you
doing
all
right.
E
E
Well,
yeah
gonna
be
good
to
see
everybody.
E
C
I
don't
know
well
surety's,
not
here
right
now,
but
like
tom
has
he's
worked
with
the
group
over
a
number
of
years
and
he's
one
of
the
people
who's
done
a
lot
of
work
on
cellular
automata
and
the
morphozoic
platform.
So
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
that
in
recent
meetings,
so
you
know
he's
doing
a
lot
of
stuff
with
artificial
intelligence
with
like
biomimetics.
He
gave
a
talk
in
the
group
last
year,
so
some
of
you
are
probably
haven't.
C
We
hadn't
joined
yet
and
so
he's
interested
in
that
area.
So
if
you
want
to
he'll,
be
in
the
slack
channel
for
open
or
for
diva
worm,
if
you
want
to
ping
them,
if
you
have
like,
if
you're
interested
in
like
the
cellular
automata
area
or
some
artificial
intelligence
topics,
it
might
not
says
hello.
So.
C
C
We
have
akshay
hello,
actually.
C
So
we
have
a
new
publication
out.
It
was
yesterday,
I
think
it
went
live
and
this
is
a
periodicity
in
the
embryo
paper.
So
this
is
usual
myself
and
jesse.
Were
the
authors
on
this
and
susan
didn't
want
authorship
but
she's
in
the
acknowledgements
and
we
this
so
this
is
finally
on
biosystems.
C
This
is
the
special
issue
on
waves
in
development,
and
so
this
is
the
final
sort
of
stub
for
the
publication.
You
know
goes
through
a
series
of
stages
here.
The
first
stage
was
as
a
preprint
and
we
had
that
out
for
a
while,
and
then
we
revised
the
preprint
and
then
we
did
the
final
version
which
is
in
biosystems,
and
that
was
there
was
like
a
impress
version
of
that,
and
now
it's
the
final
version.
C
So
it's
it's
a
pretty
good
paper.
It's
about
the
timing
of
cell
division
and
cell
differentiation
in
diff
in
two
different
embryos,
c
elegans,
which
is
the
nematode
and
indoneria,
which
is
a
zebrafish,
and
those
are
two
model
organisms,
but
they're,
very
different
modes
of
development
and
different
things
going
on
in
their
development.
C
And
so
you
know
we
can
look
at
those
two
models
and
then
we
can
also
simulate
cell
division
using
a
simulating
data
set
that
we
created
for
this
purpose
and
looking
at
sort
of
the
speed
of
division
and
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
you'll
have
to
read
the
paper
to
get
the
details
on
that.
But
it's
a
I.
I
hope
that
people
enjoy
this
paper.
You
know
it.
C
C
Okay
need
to
get
access
yeah,
if,
let's
see,
if
you
go
to
the
devo
worm,
weebly
site
thanks
tom,
because
the
diva
warm
weebly
site
actually
have
the
biosystems
version
which
is
pretty
similar
to
it.
But
it's
you
know:
you'll
get
a
sense
of
what's
going
on
a
little
bit
crumb
yeah,
so
that's
periodicity
in
the
embryo,
I
I
can
post
a
version
of
it
in
the
chat
in
the
slack
channel
as
well.
C
Next
thing
I'd
like
to
talk
about.
Actually,
this
is
something
I
pulled
up.
I
had
this
in
the
in
the
queue
of
things
that
maybe
need
to
be
done.
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
little
bit.
This
is
a
paper
called
morphogenetic
patterns
in
the
theory
of
deep
learning-
and
I
have
a
couple
people
on
here
as
authors
right
now,
but
we
can
add
more
authors
if
people
want
to
contribute
so
the
idea
this
is
it's
about
sort
of
deep
learning
and
how
deep
learning
networks
can
tell
us
something
about
development.
C
Specifically
more.
You
know
the
creation
of
morphogenetic
patterns
and
maybe
some
other
phenomena.
So
we
talk
about.
You
know
some
of
the
aspects
of
deep
learning
in
gans
and
then
you
know
kind
of
going
through,
maybe
how
some
of
those
things
might
provide
insights
into
development?
C
It's
it's
pretty
rough.
It's
a
abstract
still
with
some
references,
but
you
know
we'll
flush
this
out
over
time,
and
you
know
I
I
just
wanted
to
bring
this
up
because
I
want
you
know
if
I
want
to
give
people
a
chance,
maybe
to
get
involved
with
it
and
see
what
we're
doing
under
the
hood.
This
is
something
that
I've
I've
shared
with
a
couple
people
in
the
slack
channel
and
it's
been
a
while
since
we
revisited
it.
C
C
Okay,
so
next
thing
I'll
do
is
talk
about
the
onboarding
guide.
So
for
those
of
you
who
are
looking
to
join
the
group
as
a
member
of
the
that,
maybe
is
like
a
gsoc
person
or
you
know
doing
a
proposal
in
gsoc
we're
looking
to
get
involved
in
the
group.
We
have
this
onboarding
guide.
C
That's
now
available-
and
this
is
let's
see
mayor,
contributed
to
this
and
krishna
contributed
this,
and
I
pulled
a
lot
of
stuff
together
here
and
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
that
we've
had
in
different
places,
and
so
the
purpose
of
this
document
is
to
give
people
an
idea
of
what's
going
on,
indeed
in
in
diva
worm.
So
this
is,
I
have
to
reload
it
okay.
C
A
C
Which
is
different
than
the
diva
worm
github?
This
is
the
openworm
website,
url
and
so
forth,
and
then
we
have
some
resources
for
some
of
the
open
worm
projects.
So
you
know,
diva
worm
is
one
open
worm
project.
There
are
other
projects
like
c302
and
some
other
projects
that
are,
you
know
doing
a
lot
of
different
things
at
the
worm.
Looking
at
you
know
simulating
the
activity
of
of
neurons
looking
at
the
connectome
looking
at
some
of
the
other
things
going
on
movement,
behaviors,
and
so
those
can
be
found
here.
C
I
need
to
add
a
couple
more
resources
here,
but-
and
this
is
a
talk
that
I
gave
at
artificial
life,
2020
on
open
worm
and
so
you'll
find
those
things
very
informative.
Then
we
get
into
the
diva
worm
group
and
some
of
our
things.
We
have
a
group
website.
We
have
our
own
github
repository.
C
We
have
devo
learn
which
is
an
organization
devoted
more
to
like
machine
learning
and
deep
learning
and
analyzing
like
developmental
data,
and
so
we
have
all
these
things
here
and
then
we
have
some
introductory
slides
from
krishna
on.
You
know
how
to
maybe
contribute
to
open
source,
how
we
can
how
we
participate
in
gsoc
2021,
so
we
participate
through
incf
openworm.
We
pre
we're.
C
We
belong
to
open
one,
but
we
participate
in
google
summer
code
through
incf
and
so
that,
hopefully,
that
clarifies
things
for
people
gives
you
some
ideas
about
what
is
open
source.
This
might
be
a
little
bit
too.
You
know
low
level
for
some
people
contributing
or
applying
to
gsoc,
but
I
think,
as
a
general
resource,
it's
a
good
way
for
people
to
kind
of
you
know
understand
some
people
who
come
to
the
group
don't
really
know
what
an
open
source
contribution
is.
C
So
we
want
to
make
that
clear
to
people
and
then
here
are
ways.
Maybe
you
can
contribute
to
diva
learn.
This
is
just
a
process
of
how
to
put
a
contribution
into
play.
You
know
going
through
looking
at.
What's
going
on
trying
to
find
an
issue
to
address
you
know,
maybe
you
create
an
issue.
C
Maybe
you
get
in
contact
with
people,
but
you
then
work
on
the
issue
and
we
had
a
couple
issues
this
week
where
people
worked
on
them
and
submitted
pull
requests,
and
so
now
their
pull
requests
are
in
and
so
now
you're
formal
contributors
to
the
project.
Then
there
are
the
project
descriptions.
So
we
had
a
question
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
about
digital
basil
area.
I
know
3.1
is
popular.
C
This
is
upgrading
divaler
and
this
is
the
diva
learn
software
that
my
oak
is
is
maintaining,
and
this
is
his
g-stock
project
from
last
year.
This
project
revolves
around
working
on
that
software
platform,
which
is
essentially
a
pre-trained
model
for
analyzing
developmental
data.
So
you
know
analyzing
data
for
embryos,
the
c
elegans
embryo,
but
other
embryos
as
well-
and
you
know
developing
techniques
for
analyzing
those
data.
C
So
the
this
project,
though,
is
upgrading
the
capabilities
of
that
package,
and
so
I
think
a
lot
of
you
are
already
aware
of
maybe
some
of
the
things
that
that
entails,
there's
a
formal,
a
project,
description
for
all
these
projects
on
neurostars.
C
So
I
think
a
lot
of
you
are
familiar
with
that,
but
digital
bacillaria
actually
is.
This
is
a
project
that
started
where
we
had
this
diatom,
it's
a
it.
It's
a
a
single
cell
colony,
so
it's
a
bunch
of
cells
that
are
behaving
together
and
interacting.
It's
called
bacillaria.
C
Is
you
know
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
sort
of
digital
models
of
organisms
here
we
have
in
in
diva
worm
the
reason
it's
called
evil
worm
is
because
we
focused
on
c
elegans,
which
is
a
very
well
characterized
model
organism,
so
c
elegans,
there's
a
lot
of
secondary
data
floating
around
there's
a
lot
of
data
about
different
aspects
of
c
elegans.
Surprisingly
little
about
c
elegans
in
the
wild,
but
by
comparison
diatoms
are
pretty
poorly
characterized
in
that
way.
C
So
it's
a
it's
an
organism:
that's
not
a
model
organism,
necessarily
that
where
people
study
it
to
study
disease
or
other
things,
I
mean
people
study
diatoms
for
like
biofuels
and
things
like
that,
but
there's
no
digital
characterization
of
it
so
and
I
have
in
this
onboarding
guide.
I
have
a
couple
of
links,
so
we,
the
this
project,
has
been
worked
on
previously
by
oswald
singh
and
he's
developed.
This
platform
called
diva
warm
ai,
which
actually
has
some
of
the
models
for
digital
bacillary,
but
also
for
some
other
models.
C
Machine
learning,
type
models
for
analyzing.
You
know
microscopy
images
and
things
like
that.
There's
also
a
link
to
the
github
repository
for
digital
basil
area,
which
is
you
know
not
in
the
newest
state
possible,
but
we
have
some
references
there,
so
it
hasn't
been
updated
in
a
while
is
what
I'm
saying.
There's
some
resources,
though
here
for
you,
if
you're
interested
in
working
on
this
and
maybe
doing
an
application
or
working
with
the
data,
we
have
some
raw
video
data,
which
is
microscopy
data.
So
we
have
microscopy.
C
C
Maybe
use
to
validate
their
results
or
whatever
we
have
a
paper
here
which
is
on
the
biowork.
I
have
a
net
talk
that
talks
about
a
lot
of
the
analysis.
That's
already
been
done,
so
it
gives
you
a
sense
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
at
least
to
some
extent,
at
least
in
in
terms
of
the
image
segmentation
and
then
there's
this
recent
presentation
and
basil
area
movement.
C
Finally,
there's
this
digital
microsphere
project,
which
is
the
it's
a
project
where
we
use
a
special
type
of
microscope
where
we
capture
embry
and
embryo
from
like
many
different
sides
at
once,
so
we're
observing
it
from
many
different
project,
projection
angles
or
points
of
view.
And
then
we
take
those
points
of
view
and
we
want
to
stitch
them
together
into
an
atlas
or
some
sort
of
like
visualization
that
we
can
explore,
and
so
there
are
two
papers
here
on
this.
C
One
is
on
the
what
we
call
ball
microscopy
and
susan
is
actually
the
person
who's
heading
up
this
effort
to
acquire
this
embryo
data
through
this
using
this
ball
microscope.
So
she
puts
an
embryo
in
the
in
the
stage
and
then
she
has
all
these
mic
these
these
microscope.
These
cameras
around
different.
C
You
know
sides
of
the
embryo
and
she's
able
to
get
a
bunch
of
different
angles
at
once,
and
then
the
idea
is
to
stitch
these
images
together
into
an
atlas
of
some
type,
and
this
paper
appears
actually
describes
his
vision
in
terms
of
sort
of
like
google
maps
but
google
embryo,
and
this
is
about
10
or
12
years
old,
but
I
think
you'll
get
the
idea
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
it.
C
There's
a
you
know:
there's
a
notion
of
like
creating
like
a
map
or
a
like
a
you
know,
something
you
can
explore
a
surface
you
can
explore
and
there
are
different
ways
you
can
do
this,
so
it
isn't
just
you
know,
creating
something
that
looks
like
google
maps.
It
could
be
any
kind
of
like
you
know
you
could
take
like
a
sphere
and
something
that
you
could
move
around
and
turn
with
a
cursor.
C
It
could
be
a
flat
map.
It
could
be
some
other
type
of
visualization,
but
the
idea
would
be
to
take
these
data
and
project
them
to
something
that's
explorable
and
then
so
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
this
can
lead
to
a
lot
of
different
insights
to
be
made
a
lot
of
different
ways
to
display
the
data.
C
So
there
are
a
lot
there's
a
lot
of
potential
here.
So
that's
that's
all.
That's
almost
all
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about
with
the
onboarding
guide,
except
that
I'm
also
developing
some
of
the
biological
resources
here.
C
So
if
you're
not
up
to
speed
on
your
c
elegans
biology,
you
can
put
it
in
here
and
and
there's
a
general
faq,
so
you
can
find
out
more
about
like
some
of
the
some
of
this
language
is
like.
I
need
to
be
more
specific.
These
are
c
elegans
data
sets,
but
I
think
we're
coming
along
on
this.
C
I
think
this
would
be
a
good
resource
for
people
just
joining
new
york
and,
if
you're
interested
in
contributing
resources
to
this,
please
feel
free
to
you
know,
make
a
pull
request
or
contact
ian
slack
or
you
know
whatever,
and
we
can
keep
improving
this
onboarding
guide.
C
So
what
do
we
have
a
bunch
of
comments
here
so
after
the
onboarding
guide
link?
Let's
see
yes,
can
you
please
upload
the
recording
of
this
meeting?
Yes,
that
happens
every
week
jewel
of
the
sea.
C
Devos
says
susan
says
how
big
are
the
basil
area,
so
they're
about
90
microns
long,
maybe
a
little
bit
more,
maybe
a
bit
less
depending
on
the
well.
C
They're
they're,
that
long,
you
know
it
depends
on
the
diatom
they're
diatoms
of
many
different
morphologies.
Some
of
them
are
round
some
of
them.
Are
these
long
rods?
Rod
shaped
things
like
two
categories
round
and
rot
yeah.
There
are
several
different
categories
actually,
but
those
are
the
two
main
ones.
So
you
have
you
know
different
genie
and
species
that
are,
you
know
they
have
different
shapes
they're,
characterized
by
sort
of
silicate
cell
walls.
C
So
it's
made
of
silica,
which
is
different
from
a
lot
of
other
organisms,
but
they
have
you
know
they
have
this.
They
have
some
really
interesting
properties,
as
as
organisms
go,
so
they
have
these
silica
cell
walls
and
they
have
their
own.
You
know
cell
division
dynamics
and
they
have
their
own
growth
dynamics
and
they
know
you.
C
Developmental
biology,
but
it
kind
of
is
because
these
colonies
grow
and
they
move
so
the
digital
vascularity
project
isn't
really
focused
on
the
development
so
much,
but
and
as
much
as
they
have
a
developmental
stage,
but
I'll
put
some
more
information
about
diatoms
up
on
the
in
the
onboarding
guide.
So
what
we
can
get
some
of
that
up
there
and
make
sure
people
are
on
the
same
page
in
terms
of
what's
going
on
there.
B
So,
like
final
aim
of
the
project
is
to
create
a
digital
version
of
the
open
one
like
the
open
one
project,
they
created
a
cybernetic
one.
So
for
the
digital
bachelor's
project,
are
we
going
to
create
a
simulation
of
the
same
kind
of.
C
Thing
I
think
we
yeah,
I
think,
we'll-
probably
have
something
similar.
I
think
a
better
way
to
think
of
it,
though,
is
like
a
digital
characterization.
C
So
you
know
we
can
actually
take
these
organisms
and
we
can
image
them
and
we
have.
Then
we
can
get
some
information
about
their
morphology
and
we
put
that
into
a
digital
format,
meaning
we
can
attach
numbers
to
it.
We
can
have
like
a
model
of
its
shape.
It's
size,
it's
like
maybe
location
during
movement.
C
You
know
a
better
characterization
of
the
worm
and
its
behavior
and
all
this
other
stuff
and
people
talk
about
you
know
making
a
sort
of
you
know,
building
a
digital
organism.
Well,
digital
organism
is
a
lot
of
work
and,
of
course,
you
know
you're
not
going
to
get
like
down
to
the
level
of
like
genes,
or
you
know
particle
physics,
but
you're
going
to
get
this
model
that
that
is
somewhat
like
approximating
what
you
would
see
in
nature.
C
B
Yeah,
like
I
think
that
there
is
a
lack
of
data
like
we
need
some
more
data
regarding
this.
So
can
you
think
like?
How
can
we
collect
like
if
there
was
be
100?
I
think
there
was
around
100
images
for
the
diatoms,
which
are
labeled.
C
A
C
Something
called
evo
zoo,
which
is
a
sort
of
repository
of
different
images
that
exist,
so
people
will
image,
you
know,
do
high
resolution
imaging
of
different
organisms
and
they'll,
you
know,
make
the
data
public,
and
so
we
have
like
a
repository
of
those
resources
and
some
other
resources
that
we've
kind
of
put
in
one
place
and
then
we've
processed
those
and
and
created,
like
you
know,
numeric
descriptions
of
those
things,
and
so
those.
C
B
Yeah-
and
I
think
it's
a
very
good
aim
to
that,
like
understanding
the
simple
organism,
first
and
after
that,
going
to
more
difficult
one
yeah,
I
see
your
digital
microsphere
project
as
well.
I
see
some
of
the
recordings
on
the
youtube
and
I
think
it's
a
really
great
project
that
we
are
going
to
try
to
create
a
map
of
the
like
embryo
morphology.
A
B
C
Yeah
yeah,
so
the
idea
would
be
to
take
the
data
and
make
like
a
visualization
that
you
can,
because
the
idea
is
that
you
know
usually
in
a
in
a
study.
You
know
if
you
took
like
a
an
embryo
when
you
put
it
on
a
slide
and
you
took
microscopy
images.
You
would
get
like
slices
of
the
specimen,
but
it
would
be
at
one
angle,
so
it
would
be,
one
orientation
would
be
like
sort
of
the
top
of
it
and
then
yeah.
This
would
give
you
like
a
view,
but
also
like
over
time.
C
So
in
an
embryo
things
are
always
changing,
and
so
the
idea
is
that
you
can
image
the
thing
as
it's
sort
of
changing
over
time.
You
know
if
you
have
different
samples
or
different
stages
of
development.
C
C
You
know
not
only
what's
going
on
in
terms
of
the
divisions
but,
like
you
know,
is
it
turning.
You
know
if,
if
there's
something
going
on
like
rotationally
and
capture,
that
or
or
you
know,
cells
moving
around
at
the
top
or
the
bottom
of
the
structure,
because
they
often
do
this
where
they
move
around
the
embryo
during
development.
So
all
those
things
you
want
to
be
able
to
capture
as
well
yeah
there's
the
divorm
youtube
account.
C
We
have
yeah
length
70
to
200
micro
microns,
with
five
to
eight
microns.
That's
for
the
basilaria
size.
B
I
think
I
think
it's
a
good
resource
for
the
like.
C
Yeah
yeah,
it's
a
good
resource
for
diatoms
yeah,
so
so
we've
got
some
people
interested
in
in
proposing
projects
on
that,
and
so
susan
had
a
couple
things
to
say
about
the
ball
microscope.
The
ball
microscope
has
a
one
millimeter
field
of
view,
so
just
wondering
if
I
could
get
3d
images.
C
So
these
are
you
know
you
can
also
make
yeah
three-dimensional
images
as
well.
You
know,
depending
on
how
you
you
can
play
with
the
images
we
can
get
a
lot
of
information
out
of
these
images.
The
ball
microscope
can
be
adjusted
so
that
it
has
several
centimeter
field
of
view
as
well.
So
we
can
get
very
wide
angle
shots
in
the
ball
microscope.
B
Yeah
there
is
an
image.
I
see
that
that
it's.
I
think
that
some
of
your
members
sent
the
image
of
the
microscope
and
it's
like.
B
B
Imagine
that
is
a
footwork
into
the
microscope.
If
we
put
a
like
a
sample
of
the
embryo-
and
we
can
look
at
that
like
there
was
some
pain
kind
of
like,
like
a
pain
or
pencil
kind
of
structure
around
it
and
via
it,
the
information
is
going
to
be
a
computer
or
something
like
that.
A
Yeah
yeah
the
pencil
structures
on
it
are
actually
the
microscope
cameras.
Also
yeah
and
there's
I've
got
sorry
how
many
I
can
go
up
to
14
microscopes
with
that
structure,
but
right
right
now
I
only
have
nine.
C
Yeah,
that's
great
so
yeah
and
then
akshay
asked
yes
susan.
I
was
actually
planning
to
do
sort
of
a
mercure
projection
approach
which
we
may
stitch
all
the
embryo
images
together.
C
So
yes,
an
example
would
be
like
a
map
of
the
world
where
you
have
latitude
and
longitude
and
then
the
coordinates
would
be
like
a
3d
projection,
yeah,
so
yeah,
that's
that's!
A
good
example
is
like
a
map
where
you
take
like
the
surface
of
the
sphere,
which
is
the
earth's
surface
and
you
pull
it
off
and
flatten
it
out,
and
so
you
need
to
do.
C
For
example,
in
some
projections
you
got
a
lot
of
distortion
at
the
poles.
Things
appear
to
be
much
bigger
than
they
are
and
things
that
in
the
equatorial
regions
appear
to
be
much
smaller,
which
is
a
problem
if
you
want
to
know
what's
going
on
at
the
top
of
the
image
and
there's
a
lot
of
the
polls
in
in
development.
So
it's
you
know
it's
important
to
get
that
information,
but
there.
C
So
there
are
other
projections
that
you
can
use,
but
I
think
yeah,
using
these
kind
of
2d
project,
coordinate
projections
as
a
way
to
approach
and
analyzing
the
data.
You
know
there
are
other
ways
as
well,
like
you
know,
being
able
to
there.
There
are
a
lot
of
mathematical
models
that
one
can
use
for
doing
different
things,
and
we
can.
We
can
talk
about
those
if
you're
interested,
but
I
I
don't
have
any
good
references
right
now,
but
those
exist,
and
so,
let's
see,
akshay,
also
asked
otherwise.
C
C
So
I've
put
some
data,
I
don't
know
if
it's
in
the
onboarding
guide,
it
should
be
in
the
onboarding
guide.
I've
made
a
like
a
link
to
some
of
the
data.
C
Yeah
there's
some
data
in
here.
I
believe.
Maybe
I
don't
have
it
in
this
one.
Well,
there
there
are
some
data
that
I've
made
available
and
I
will
put
the
link
in
the
onboarding
guide
and
this.
This
is
like
a
sample
of
data
that
susan
gave
me
and
it's
just
like
a
sequence
of
events.
C
So,
like
you
know,
you
have
the
sphere
and
it's
not
like
every
angle.
It's
just
like
a
single.
It's
it's
an
earlier
version
of
this.
Where
there's
like
a
flipping,
she
has
called
what
she
calls
a
flipping
microscope,
which
is
where
you,
you
know.
Basically,
the
embryo
rotates
in
water,
it
it's
turned
upside
down
and
then
it
turns
upright,
and
so
by
doing
that
you
can
see
most
of
the
surface
of
the
embryo,
but
it
rotates
over
time.
C
So
you
have
to
like
map
these
images
to
some
sort
of
rotational
movement,
and
so
someone
kicked
out
debo.
I
don't
know
what
happened,
but.
B
Maybe
can
you
turn
off
the
like
the
anonymous
motor,
something
like
that?
I
think
I
think
it
will
like
everyone,
can
have
the
moderation
workload
so
yeah
like
google
me,
you
can
only
take
control.
C
B
C
Okay,
yeah
all
right,
sorry,
so
yeah
susan
can
I
have
your
email
of
that.
We
have
any
presentations
today.
We
may
have
some
presentations
so
yeah.
Does
anyone
have
anything
to
present
today
or.
C
F
C
F
Using
various
methods
such
as
binary,
thresholding,
candy,
educators,
any
taxes
and
manually,
so
as
you
can
see,
the
individual
cells
on
the
right,
which
are
segmented
lightly
in
white
background,
and
then
I
went
ahead
and.
G
F
F
F
Framework
there
might
be
lots
of
information
with
the
user
of
normal
translation.
G
H
F
Runs
in
the
background
and
generates
the
segmentation
mask
and
then
displays
the
input
image,
along
with
the
prediction
to
the
new
color
to
the
end
user.
C
D
Work
is
pretty
good,
but,
like
the
objective
of
our
problem
is
just
to
clear:
is
that
we
need?
We
don't
only
need
to
like
segment
these
using
binary
masks.
We
need
to
analyze
them
as
well.
Then
we
have
to
find
parameters
like
the
height
of
each
individual
cell.
How
many
cells
you
can
identify
like
how
many,
for
example,.
D
Box,
how
many
boxes
are
there
per
frame
so
because,
like
we
have
to
take
all
these
frames
in
continuation,
and
then
we
have
to
analyze
like
what
is
the
predictive
movement
for
this
particular
mom?
That
is
being
shown
in
the
video
frames
so
like
whatever
you
have
done
this?
This
is
a
good
starting,
but
you
have
to
like
evolve
with
something
so
that
we
can
analyze
it
like.
You
can't
analyze
the
individual
cell
in
the
diagram.
The
segmentation
is
pretty
good,
but
I
think
you'll
get
my
point.
F
C
Yeah,
that
was
good.
Thank
you
for
clarifying
some
of
the
aims
here
so
worked
on
this
in
2019
and
he's
done
a
lot
of.
He
knows
you
know
kind
of
how
this
would
proceed.
C
Yeah
you're
showing
the
the
masking,
so
I
think
it's
masking,
but
also
the
annotation
of
the
cells,
individual
cells
and
being
able
to
get
those,
because
you
know
the
whole
cup
that's
a
whole
colony
of
cells
there
and
so
being
able
to
get
the
individual.
Because
what
will
happen
is
the
individual
cells
will
move
around
relative
to
one
another
so
having
the
individual
cells
marked
out
and
being
able
to
annotate
them?
Even
you
know,
because
they
do
they
don't
really
change
shape,
but
they
change
position
and
so
so
good
work.
F
Folder
one
and
then
I
just
started
prototyping
another
block
from
that
one.
That's
fine!
The
thing
is
how
good
are
the
iou
scores
or
the
losses
like
how.
C
Yeah,
thank
you.
So
that's
that's
again,
that's
a
good
job
and
we're.
We
have
a
number
of
approaches
that
people
are
trying
on
these
different
data
sets.
So
if
you
have
anything
to
present,
you
know
if
you're
doing
work
on
putting
your
proposal
together
or
you
have
something
that
you're
doing
you
want
to
show
to
the
group.
This
is
a
good
time
to
do
it.
C
If
we
don't
have
anyone
else,
I
can
I
can
move
on
to
the
next
order
of
business.
C
Comment
in
the
chat
here:
okay-
pretty
interesting!
Yes,
very
good!
Thank
you.
It's
very
interesting,
so
I
want
to
talk
next
about
this.
Well,
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
submissions,
but
I
did
have
this
thing
that
I
got
contacted
in
by
someone
in
openworm
in
another
works
on
another
project
but
they're
interested
in
putting
together
this
thing.
C
They
call
the
mathematics
of
open
worm,
and
so
I'm
trying
to
put
together
something
called
the
mathematics
of
diva
worm
and
what
this
is
is
it's
like
it's
a
way
to
sort
of
boil
down
a
lot
of
the
topics
that
we're
doing
in
the
group
to
sets
of
equations
or
models
that
people
can
sort
of
summarize
and
understand.
C
So
these
are
some
of
the
ones
that
I
have
here,
we'll
probably
add
more.
I
have
a
couple
of
different
categories.
I
have
developmental
function,
a
spatial
complexity
and
self-organization.
C
Those
are
two
categories
and
then,
in
the
spatial
complexity
category
I
have
this
model
of
an
embryo
where
I
have
this
set
of
parameters
that
we
this
is
sort
of
the
model
we
do
when
we
analyze
embryo
data.
We,
you
know,
we
have
what
they
call
cell
tracking
data,
which
is
being
able
to
track
the
cells
and
assign
a
specific
three-dimensional,
coordinate
position
to
each
cell,
and
then
you
have
things
like
time
and
division
angle.
C
So
the
time
is
when
you,
you
know
capture
the
image
in
terms
of
how
the
embryo
is
unfolding,
and
then
the
division
angle
is
when
you
have
two
cells
that
divide
and
start
to
move
apart
from
one
another.
You
know
what
is
the
angle
of
that,
and
so
those
are.
Those
are
like
five
parameters
that
I've
put
together
here
and
we've.
We
have
a
paper
on
this
from
2014.
So
if
you
go
to
the
davidwarm
website,
you'll
see
the
link
to
the
paper,
but
we
have.
C
We
can
have
other
parameters
here
as
well,
and
so
this
is
one
sort
of
approach.
Another
thing
that
describes,
maybe
spatial
complexity,
is
this
idea
of
a
cellular
automata.
So
this
is
a
von
neumann
neighborhood
and
this
is
the
radius
of
the
von
neumann
neighborhood.
So
this
is
the
equation
for
the
radius
of
that
neighborhood.
So
you
can
have
von
neumann
neighborhoods,
which
are
the
immediate
cardinal
direction,
neighbor
cells.
C
So
it's
like
the
cells
to
the
right
to
the
front,
to
the
back
and
to
the
left.
You
know
you
can
have
many
different
orders
of
neighborhoods,
so
this
is
an
order.
One
neighborhood
with
a
radius
of
I
think
one,
but
you
can
have
much
larger
von
neumann
neighborhoods.
So
this
is
just
a
characterization
of
this
idea.
This
concept
of
a
nearest
neighbor,
neighborhood
and.
A
C
I
would
love
what
I'd
like
to
do
eventually
is
to
take
these.
You
know
make
sort
of
like
figures
that
describe
each
of
these
categories
and
then
like
write
a
paper
or
a
short
paper
describing
these
things,
and
so
you
know
I
don't
want
to
just
leave
the
visualization
there.
I
want
to
actually
describe
what
it
means,
and
so
this
is
seems
a
little
bit
like
out
there
now,
but
there's
going
to
be
some
description
of
it
later.
C
Developmental
function
is
another
example,
and
for
that
we
have
three
different
sorts
of
data
structures.
We
have
complex
networks
where,
in
development
we
have
node
attachments,
so
these
are
like
our
embryo
networks
or
networks
of
cells
or
something
where
we're
adding
nodes
over
developmental
time.
C
We
also
have
neural
networks,
which
of
course,
we
use
in
things
like
deep
learning,
but
are
also
like
in
the
connectome.
You
see
neural
networks,
which
are
a
little
configured
a
little
bit
differently,
but
they,
you
know,
that's
the
basic
structure
and
you
have
lineage
trees.
So
you
have
this.
This
is
a
chart
that
describes
cells
when
they
divide
and
they
form
new
cells
or
daughter
cells,
and
then
they
divide
again
and
they
form
daughter
cells,
and
this
recursive
process
is
described
by
a
lineage
tree.
C
So
what
I
wanted
to
do
with
this
is
to
sort
of
put
together
like
the
major
equations
and
data
structures
involved
in
development
and
then
describe
them,
and
the
person
who
I
talked
to
in
openworm
said
that
you
know.
Maybe
we
would
submit
this
to
something
like
worm
base
or
worm
book
as
sort
of
a
document
for
the
community
of
c
elegans
researchers,
but
it
would
be
more,
you
know,
general
of
general
interest
to
people
interested
in
like
computational
development
and
how
to
think
computationally
about
development.
C
C
So
then
that
brings
us
to
the
submissions
list,
which
is
the
submissions
that
we
have
and
the
submissions
we
might
be
making
in
the
near
future
to
different
journals
or
to
different
conferences
or
to
other
venues.
C
C
So
this
is
the
these
green
rows
are
things
that
are
done,
so
we
have
a
couple
things
that
are
already
done.
I
started
this
list
at
the
beginning
of
the
calendar
year,
so
we're
already
getting
there.
C
So
we
have
a
couple
of
things
here:
evolution
2021
we've
been
talking
about
submitting
some
abstracts
there.
I
think
krishna
has
one
on
kill.
The
winners
have
killed
the
winners,
which
is
something
he
presented
on
several
weeks
ago,
and
we
also
have
this
euler
paths
for
life,
which
is
something
I've
been
working
on.
I
showed
it
in
the
meeting
as
well,
if
you're
thinking
about
submitting
to
virtual
evolution.
C
This
is
the
link
to
go
to
the
submission
portal.
It
should
be
open
now,
but
the
deadline
is
april.
30Th,
so
you'll
want
to
work
on.
You
know
your
abstract
and
submit
it
by
then
the
cost
is
you
know
it's
not
as
much
as
it
would
be
if
it
were
in
person,
but
you
can
check
out
the
costs
at
the
link
at
the
meeting
site.
So
again
we
have
you
know
and
people
can
submit
if
they
feel
like
they
want
us
have
something
they
might
want
to
submit
to
this
conference.
C
They
can
maybe
put
it
on
this
list
or
go
ahead
and
submit
it
yourself,
but
I
I
I
actually
like
to
revisit
this
kill
the
winners
submission
if
krishna,
I
don't
know
if
he's
still
here
here,
he
is.
If
krishna
wants
to
talk
about
that
in
the
next
week
or
two,
maybe
we'll
get
back
and
look
at
that.
C
Actually,
following
up
on
the
last
one,
jesse
says
I'm
interested
in
how
the
math
models
work.
Is
that
on
github
anywhere?
The
answer?
Isn't
we
don't
have
a
github
repository
on
this,
but
this
will
be
sort
of
like
a
next
step.
So
stay
tuned,
krishna,
we're
gonna,
say
something:
they're,
muted,.
I
Hey
hello,
everyone
hi
bradley
nice
to
see
you
so
yeah
I'll,
be.
I
can
present
that
thing
just
we
have
another
paper
coming
up.
That
was
on
the
bias,
so
I
I
like
to
present
it
is.
Can
I
present
it
today,
yeah.
C
Okay,
yeah
yeah,
so
let
me
go
through
this
really
quickly,
so
yeah
we
have
that.
We
have
also
the
diva
learned
paper,
which
is
something
I've
put
on
the
back
burner.
Unfortunately,
but
I'm
going
to
work
on
it
and
this
describes
our
pla
our
divalent
platform,
so
those
of
you
contributing
to
google
summer
code
are
pushing
to
the
diva
learn
repository
and
we
have.
C
We
have
a
bunch
of
new
people
who
have
issued,
pull
or
have
fulfilled,
pull
requests.
They
don't
know
if
we
have
anything
on
the
pull
request
list
here,
but
this
is
the
divo
learn
repository
where
a
lot
of
you
have
been
contributing.
C
Thank
you
for
that
and,
if
you
you
know
their
pull
requests
open
right
now,
myoca
is
taking
care
of
all
those
pull
requests.
Thank
you
for
being
a
maintainer,
my
hook,
it's
a
hard.
You
know
it's
it's
hard
work,
but
it's
good
to
be
able
to
maintain
these
resources,
and
so
well,
maybe
next
week
we'll
do
a
little
bit
more
on
on
the
different
pull
requests
on
this.
But
suffice
it
to
say
that's
a
main
part
of
the
steve
learn
platform.
Well,
we
also
have
a
lot
of
other
things
here.
C
We
have
the
general
biological
model,
which
is
a
machine
learning
model
for
analyzing
different
types
of
biological
data.
We
have
the
c
elegans
divo
learn,
which
is
it's
a
web
app
to
support
the
c
elegans
part
of
the
diva
library.
So
this
is
part
of
this
divo
diva
worm
ai
initiative,
and
we
have
a
repository
of
model
organisms
here
which
needs
to
be
worked
on
because
we
don't
really
have
a
lot
of
descriptors
in
here,
but
there's
a
lot
of
stuff.
That's
coming
up
on
this
platform.
C
So
there's
the
software,
but
there's
also
the
platform,
and
this
paper
is
about
this
platform
and
it's
still
we're
still
working
on
it.
But
if
you
want
to
be
involved,
you
know
you
can
start
by
contributing
to
the
divo
learn
software,
and
so
we
also
have
this
growth
form
and
theory
of
deep
learning
paper,
which
I
showed.
A
C
We
don't
really
have
a
target
venue
for
that,
but
it's
you
know
it'll
happen.
We
also
have
this
bacillary
non-normal,
cognition
paper
that
is
coming
up.
We
have
to
write
a
paper
by
april
30th,
I'm
working
on
that
paper.
It's
we
would
put
a
an
at.
We
submitted
an
abstract
to
a
book
chapter
which
got
accepted,
and
now
we
have
to
produce
a
paper
and
that's.
C
Bacillary
analysis
is
going
into
things
like
this.
This
is
open
norm.
Oh
there's,
an
open
room
poster
that
someone
else
in
the
open
worm
organization
is
interested
in
submitting
to
the
international
c
elegans
conference.
C
The
deadline
for
abstracts
is
march
25th,
but
the
conference
is
in
june,
so
we'll
be
talking
about
that
in
the
next
couple
months.
We
also
have
this
boring
billion
book,
which
is
this
idea
about
deep
evolution
and
why
things
were
static
for
like
a
billion
years
of
earth
history.
So
that's
still
being
worked
on.
C
I
submitted
a
proposal
for
the
devil,
learn
a
talk
on
the
devil,
learn
platform
to
the
incf
neuroinformatics
assembly.
So
that's
coming
up
in
next
month.
I
think
and
we'll
be
talking
more
about
that
in
the
next
coming
week
in
a
couple
next
coming
weeks,
preparing
materials
for
that
and
that'll
hopefully
be
something
that
people
can
attend
online
or
you
know,
however,
they
decide
to
host
it
and
then
there's
this
mathematics
of
evil
diva
worm,
which
is
this
worm
book
thing,
which
is
pretty
rough
right
now,
but
we're
getting
it
together.
C
And
then
I
wanted
to
point
out
for
a
lot
of
machine
learning.
People
there's
the
deadline
for
their
ips,
which
is
on
may
19th
for
an
abstract
and
may
26th
for
a
full
paper.
If
you
have
you
know,
if
you
want
to
write
a
paper,
time
is
pretty
short
on
that,
but
you
can
submit
something
either
to
that
or
to
one
of
the
workshops
which
are
have
a
little
bit
later
deadlines.
C
I
And
it's
on
biasing,
artificial
intelligence.
So
I'll
just
give
you
a
quick,
you
can
say
a
quick.
You
can
say
recap
of
what
other
things
that
we
are
doing
here
so
in
psychologists
have
considered
that
there
are
more
than
you
know,
200
pies,
in
human
brain.
We,
you
know,
we
tend.
I
I
Good
as
it
should
be
so
the
only
seven
types
of
price
is,
you
can
say,
exclusion
by
sample
price
measurement
price.
So
then,
for
example,
if
a
person
is
designing
an
algorithm-
and
you
know
he
made
a
perception,
he
wants
to
see
the
things
that
he
like
to
see.
Then
there
is
a
quotation
that
you
see
the
word
as
you
want
it
to
comes
into
play.
We
have
measurement
bias
like
whenever
the
data
that
is
reported
to
us
is
incorrect.
I
It
is
not
accurate,
then
we
have
record
bias
which
comes
in
the
labeling
stage.
I
For
example,
if
you
are
feeding
professions
so
it
was
found
that
in
google
tran
translation,
when
men
were
linked
to
doctors,
women
were
linked
to
nurses
and
it
should
not
be
there
because
both
men
and
women
can
be
doctor.
So
that
is
something
that
is
something
actually
like.
Some
of
the
machine
translation
problems
when
men
were
targeted
as
engineers,
so
women
were
not
targeted.
A
C
Well,
I
think
it's
a
very
good
point
that,
like
even
like
a
lot
of
the
stuff
we
do
in
the
group
with
respect
to
data
is
some
of
it's
high
resolution,
but
we
also
have
to
remember
that
we're
dealing
with
very
small
samples
relative
to
the
actual
biology
that's
happening.
So
I
think
everyone
should
keep
that
in
mind
as
they're
doing
their
work.
You
know,
but
that's
fine
yeah.
We
we
can
talk
about
more
about
that
in
meetings
to
come
so
yeah.
D
E
D
D
I
I
I
I
J
And
there's
this
like
there's,
I
have
to
have
to
do
of
give
it
more
of
an
update
I'll
do
a
bit
later
this
week
on
the
new
york
celebration
element,
computing
stuff,
which
is
related
to
you,
know,
bias
and
ethics
and
ai.
J
This
is
like,
obviously,
this
all
tied
together
for
that
and
for
real
for
people
who
don't
know
much
about
that.
We
we
part
with
with
the
other
group.
We
we
we're
working
on
some
ethics
related
stuff,
so
if
you're
interested
in
their
ethics
and
bias,
sort
of
things
just
mention
it
in
slack,
and
we
can
talk
more
about
there.
But
this
is
you
know.
J
The
paper
is
is
definitely
was
one
part
of
that,
and
I
like,
where
it's
going
at
listening
to
the
biases
is
yeah
it
it's
something
that
we
could
involve
to
be
familiar
with
familiar
with
going
forward.
So
it's
good.
I
I
So
it
is
known
as
gradient,
so
we
are
considering
the
gradient
for
probably
if
this
point
has
to
be
considered,
then
it's
horizontal
and
vector
gradient
should
be
considered.
I
C
Okay,
what
what
is
the
so
this
is
basically
up
sampling
data
yeah,
okay,
okay,
why
don't
you?
Can
you
send
me
a
link
to
the
slides
I'd
like
to
look
them
over.
C
All
right,
yeah
that
looks
pretty
good.
We
I
think
we
can
find
a
home
for
that.
You
know
I
don't
know
like
we'll
keep
working
on
it
and
we'll
see.
Thank
you
any
questions
about
that.
C
I
know
krishna's
audio
was
a
little
off
on
it,
but
it's
like
I
mean
you
know.
I
think
you
got
the
idea
so
yeah,
I
think
that's
you
know.
People
have
next
week.
If
people
have
things
that
they're
working
on
they
want
to
present,
please
feel
free
to
present
them
put
them
on
the
list.
Let's
see
what
we
have
in
the
chat,
we
have
a
lot
of
different
things
here
that
people
have
been
posting.
C
So
susan
says
axolotl
was
a
model
organism,
so
it's
a
salamander
xenopus
is
a
it's
a
frog,
yeah
and
akshay
says
my
bio
is
weak.
That's
why
we
have.
I
want
to
put
some
more
tutorial
information
up
on
the
onboarding
guide,
because
I
think
people
maybe
need
a
refresher
in
biology.
It
helps
and
we
don't
have
any-
I
mean
they're
for
model
organisms.
You
can
look
them
up
by
their
name
that
you
see.
If
you
see
a
name
of
a
model
organism,
you
know
you'll
be
able
to
find
out
more
like.
C
There
are
a
lot
of
references
online
wikipedia
just
for
a
very
basic
level,
understanding
of
it,
but
you
know
so
this
is
we
have
a
lot
of
these
model
organisms.
We've
talked
about
this
okay,
this
is
this
person
does
not
exist.
This
is
an
example
of
a
gan
where
they
generate
people
who
don't
exist
and
they're
like
generate
faces
from
you
know,
just
existing
human
faces,
but
they're
generating
new
faces
and
people
don't
exist
yeah.
C
So
this
is
bias
that
twitter
exhibits,
twitter
crops,
images
to
zoom
into
faces
and
it's
generally
more
biased
towards
white
faces.
So
that's
a
you
know.
It's
a
design
feature
of
some
of
the.
This
is
kind
of
what
we're
talking
about
and
then
nvidia
uses
super
sampling
on
games.
This
is
a
link
from
throne,
so
this
is
a
link
to
what
they're
using
super
sampling
for
so
some
very
good
points
in
the
chat.
Thank
you
for
contributing
to
the
chat.
Finally,
I'd
like
to
get
I'd
like
to
turn
to
some
papers.
C
I
was
hoping
you
had
more
time
for
this,
but
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
too
much
more,
but
I
wanted
to
go
over
some
points
that
I
had
prepared
here.
First
of
all,
we
continuing
our
discussion
of
cellular
automata.
I
wanted
to
point
people
to
this.
There's
been
some
interesting
work
on
morphogenesis
in
minecraft,
and
so
this
is
something
that's
using
three-dimensional
cellular,
automata
coupled
to
a
neural
network.
So
it's
something
they
call
neural
cellular,
automata
and
there's
a
new
paper
here
from
the
er
on
the
archive
on
this
topic.
C
Sebastian
reese's
one
of
the
authors
and
it
talks
about
how
they
show
that
neural
cellular
automata
can
learn
to
grow.
Complex
3d
objects
in
minecraft.
So
for
those
who
are
knowledgeable,
what
minecraft
is
it's
a
three-dimensional
environment?
C
It's
a
virtual
environment
where
you
can
build
things
with
blocks,
so
it's
kind
of
like
virtual
legos
and
you
can
put
them
together
and
build
like
all
sorts
of
things
and
you
can
build
avatars
and
you
can
interact
with
each
other
in
it
in
in
the
environment
and
what
they're
doing
here
is
they're,
taking
these
blocks
and
they're
using
the
that
block
structure
to
generate
3d,
artifacts
and
they're
you're,
basically
evolving
them
using
this
neural,
cellular,
automata
or
they're
they're
forming
them.
C
C
You
see
this
with
flatworms,
this
extreme
ability
to
regenerate
but
other
organisms.
If
you
cut
them
in
half,
they
regenerate
the
rest
of
their
body.
So
if
you
cut
a
single
organism
that
exhibits
this
property
in
half,
you
can
end
up
with
two
separate
organisms,
and
so
you
know
this
is
an
interesting
advance.
C
I
think
I
posted
it
in
the
slack
channel,
there's
a
competition
for
open-ended
evolution
in
minecraft,
as
well
so
they're
using
minecraft
for
all
sorts
of
interesting
things
these
days,
and
we
should
talk
more
about
how
to
leverage
that
in
future
meetings.
C
So,
let's
see,
I
also
had
another
question
that
was
raised
after
last
week's
meeting
by
dick
gordon
and
we
talked
about
some
papers
on
the
environment
and
it
kept
using
the
word
environment
and
the
papers
kept
using
the
word
environment
and
he
had
a
question
in
the
chat
and
he
kind
of
tried
to
clarify
it
after
the
meeting.
C
The
idea
is
that
environment
we
talk
about
in
development
as
being
this
thing
that,
like
an
embryo,
exists
in
or
that
organisms
experience.
But
what
is
it?
What
is
its
relevance
and
how
do
you
define
it,
and
it
might
seem
like
a
very
elementary
question
and
dick
is,
you
know,
he's
done
a
lot
of
work
in
biology
and
development.
So
he
knows
he.
You
know
you
think
he
would
know
what
the
answer
is,
but
I
don't
think
anyone
knows
what
the
answer
is.
C
C
The
first
is
that
environment
is
permissive,
so
environment
allows
for
things
to
happen
in
the
organism,
so
that
may
be
some
very
general
type
of
information
like
changes
in
the
environment
like
from
hot
to
cold
or
stresses
so,
like
you
know,
starvation
versus
food
availability
or
intensities,
so
you
might
have
a
temperature
gradient
where
you
might
get
really
hot.
You
know
super
hot
or
super
cold,
and
so
those
things
can
be
transduced
into
the
biological
system.
It
might
permit
certain
things
to
happen.
It
might
certain
things
happening,
but
it's
this
idea
that
it's
permissive.
C
It
allows
for
things,
and
so,
but
the
second
is
that
environment
is
instructive,
so
this
is
different
in
the
sense
that
environment
actually
has
some
specific
information
to
give
to
the
biological
system,
so
that
might
include,
like
ratios
of
different
signaling
molecules,
often
times
they're
signaling
pathways
in
cells
or
in
in
small
microorganisms
that
allow
for
things
called
like
quorum,
sensing
or
other
types
of
collective
behavior,
and
that
also,
you
know,
involves
patterns
or
codes
that
might
be
involved
in
the
environment.
C
Like
you
know,
fluctuations
in
the
environment
are
interpreted
in
a
certain
there
might
be
patterns
in,
in
that
sequence
of
events
that
trigger
things
in
the
biological
system,
so
the
environment
is
also
instructive,
and
so
this
this
is
sort
of
trying
to
work
this
problem
out-
and
I
don't
know
if
people
have
things
you
want
to
add
to
this.
You
can
talk
about
it
in
the
slack,
but
I
think
it's
an
interesting
sort
of
idea
to
think
about,
but
you
know
that's,
maybe
something
we
can
talk
about
later
in
future
meetings.
C
I'd
also
like
to
finally
kind
of
get
into
some
of
the
papers.
I
don't
want
to
get
too
deeply
into
these
papers.
Jesse
sent
me
this
paper
on.
Nothing
in
evolution
makes
sense,
except
in
the
white
of
parasites,
and
this
is
by
a
couple
people
in
who
actually
contribute
to
the
artificial
life,
literature,
susan,
stepney
and
paulie
and
hogawig,
and
this
is
talking
about
sort
of
the
role
of
parasites
in
evolution,
and
so
they
talk
about
you
know.
C
So
this
is
something
they
talk
about
spatial
pattern,
formation
being
a
factor
in,
like
you
know,
or
parasites,
being
a
factor
in
spatial
spatial
pattern
formation.
It
also
slows
down
replication.
Sometimes
it
involves
things
like
co-evolutionary,
arms
races,
and
so
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
parasites
are
involved
in
their
parasitism.
More
generally,
which
is.
C
One
organism
or
one
entity
benefiting
off
of
another
entity,
so
there
are
different
types
of
interact:
interactive
relationships,
there's
parasitism,
there's
mutualism
and
there
are
different
things
like
that:
parasitism
is
where
you
have
one
entity
sort
of
living
off
of
another
entity
without
contributing
anything,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
interesting
stuff
that
this
is
actually.
C
A
C
Yeah
they
have
a
lot
of
different,
so
they're,
using
this
string,
automatic
chemistry
so
they're
using
an
artificial
chemistry
to
model
some
of
this
stuff.
So
it's
really
kind
of
an
interesting
approach
to
parasitism
and
they
look
at
the
population
dynamics.
C
So
you
can
see
that
they're
mapping
the
population
and
number
of
species
over
time
and
they're
looking
at
their.
You
know:
they're
modeling
their
hypotheses
using
this
platform
and
here's
some.
You
know
some
image
screenshots
of
how
they're
evolving
this
artificial
chemistry.
C
So
this
is
what
it
looks
like
you're,
just
evolving
agents
in
this
artificial
chemistry
and
you're,
putting
together
you're
getting
these
results
from
different
chemical
reactions,
and
so
I'm
not
really
an
expert
at
artificial
chemistry
by
far
but
just
to
let
you
know
that
these
things
exist
in
the
world
and
that
you
can
do
cool
things
with
them.
C
Then
there's
this
other
paper
on
modeling
developmental
sequences,
this
neurodevelopmental
sequences.
I
only
bring
this
up
because
it's
is
something
that's
been
out
for
a
while,
but
I
found
it
this
week.
They
basically
look
at
neural
development
in
18
mammalian
species
and
they
look
at
like
different
heterochronic
changes
in
brain
evolution.
C
It's
a
really
complete
paper-
and
I
mean
this.
This
actually
is
something
we
might
look
into
anymore
in
the
other
group.
A
C
Doing
some
work
on
developmental
ai-
and
this
is
something
that
might
be
very
useful
to
that,
but
I
think
this
is
also
useful
for
understanding
development
in
terms
of
the
brain
and
then
finally,
we
have
a
couple
of
papers
here
that,
though,
a
couple
of
things
that
are
kind
of
coming
out
now
that
are
really
exciting.
There's
some
wet
lab
work
on
an
exuteral
mouse
embryogenesis
model,
so
they
actually
have
this
exuderal
mouse
embryogenesis
from
pregastrulational
weight
organogenesis.
C
C
We've
talked
about
what
cell
culture
is
and
they're
looking
at
some
of
these
changes
that
are
happening
in
the
embryo
from
the
time
when
there's
like
this
mass
of
cells
that
are
starting
starting
to
take
shape
to
the
formation
of
hind
limbs-
and
so
you
know,
you're,
actually
getting
not
only
tissues
but
the
formation
of
different
parts
of
the
phenotype,
and
so
this
is
really
interesting
work.
C
They
talk
ab.
This
is
very
technical
overview
here.
I
don't
know
if
I
have
the
this
is
actually
something
related
to
this.
This
is
a
news
and
views
articles.
This
is
easier
to
understand.
C
So
this
is
the
blastocyst
where
it's
a
very
simple
version
of
of
you
know,
what's
going
to
happen
in
the
formation
of
the
human
embryo
you're
going
to
have
this
inner
cell
mass
and
you
have
this
trifecta
derm
layer,
so
you
have
a
very,
very
early
stage
developmental
structure
here
and
so
studying
early
development
in
humans
has
been
a
challenge
because
it's
hard
to
get,
I
mean
their
ethical
considerations,
but
it's
also
hard
to
get
these
things
to
grow
in
a
culture,
and
so
you
know
and
to
really
study
it
like.
C
And
so
you
can
generate
these
without
having
to
deal
with
a
lot
of
the
ethical
constraints
or
with
a
lot
of
the
you
know,
the
consequences
of
trying
to
get
a
human
embryo
to
grow
into
a
blastocyst
outside
of
the
womb,
and
so
they
we've
talked
about.
You
know
different
sorts
of
organoids
before
organoids
gastroloids,
and
this
is
a
blastoid.
C
So
this
is
really
exciting
work
and
you
know
they
just
grow
it
in
this
chamber
and
they
let
the
cells
aggregate
and
do
this
pattern
form
basic
pattern
formation
and
they
want
to
study
what
happens
during
this
process.
And
so
this
is
a
good.
This
is
a
new
some
more
advances
in
this
model,
so
I
don't
have
the
full
papers
are
listed
in
the
references
of
this
so
often
what
they
do
is
they
have
this
overview
paper
and
they
cite
the
original
papers
in
this.
C
But
it's
a
nice
accessible
way
to
understand
it,
and
then
this
paper
is
a
little
bit
deeper
into
the
details
of
modeling
embryogenesis
in
a
dish
but
they're
doing
this
in
mouse,
and
so
these
are
a
number
of
different
models
in
mammalian
systems
which
are
much
different
than
our
c
elegans
and
our
other
models
that
we're
doing
in
our
group,
but
they're,
very
important
to
understand.
If
you
want
to
understand
development,
so
we
have
some
questions
and
I'll
take
those
before
we
go
so
susan
says
I
have
some
seashells.
C
Should
I
take
some
3d
images
of
them?
Yes,
please,
if
you
can
I'd
love
to
see
those
mine
acts
as
axolotls
can
regenerate.
Yes,
maxolotls
are
a
key
model
organism
and
regeneration
studies.
If
you
go
to
the
regeneration,
literature
you'll
find
these
axolotls.
A
lot
says
environment
is
adaptive,
which
is
true,
so
you
know
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
role
of
environment
is,
but
environment
itself
is
an
adaptive.
C
It
drives
adaptation
in
the
organism,
so
I
mean
we're
trying
to
piece
this
together.
You
know
the
language
is
very
broad
in
general
and
we
want
to
kind
of
get
this
together.
Can
you
post
the
link
to
the
parasite
paper
yeah
I'll
post
it
in
the
slack
channel?
That
would
be
a
good
thing
for
people
to
read.
I
think
dicks,
oh
dicks,
here
hello,
dick
anyone
willing
to
learn
a
note
basic.
So
if
you
want
to
get
involved
with
endnote,
we
want
to
put
these
papers
in
a
bibliography
of
some
type.
C
Surety
says:
was
the
issue
resolved
in
the
code:
axolotl's
development,
constant
temperature,
oxygen
and
distilled
water?
What
does
environment
do,
and
so
this
is
the
thing
about
the
the
question
about
the
environment.
Funding
was
cut
for
human
embryos
decades
ago,
yeah.
A
C
They
have
don't
really
fund
that
area,
so
surety
collected
100
papers
for
the
paper.
I'm
writing.
Please
be
patient
and
hexabattles,
regenerate
spinal
cord
and
heart.
Yes,
axolotls
are
very
good
model
organism
for
looking
at
a
lot
of
things
in
in
in
organogenesis
as
well.
So
so
thank
you
for
meeting.
I
know
we're
probably
at
the
end
of
our
time
here
and
I
just
want
to
say
if
you
know
we'll
be
going
over
some
of
the
stuff
on
slack,
we
should
have
some
more
discussions
on
slack
or
via
email.
C
C
You
know
in
other
neural
systems,
and
you
know
it's
still
hard
for
people
to
understand
like
why
we
can't
regenerate
like
you
know,
lizards
and
amphibians,
have
some
and
fishes
as
well
have
some
quite
impressive
abilities
in
terms
of
regeneration,
but
we
don't
have
that,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
theories
as
to
why,
but
no
one's
really,
I
think,
really
uncovered
the
key
factors
and
why
that
is.
C
So
jesse
a
note
basic
is
free
capacity
for
fifty
thousand
records.
So
that's
so
there
are
no
more
questions.
Thank
you
for
meeting
have
a
good
week.
