Indeed, I just watched it and it is fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

At about the 38:00 mark, during Q&A, he mentions some yet-to-be-published work by his team where it's possible to make artificial living machines that are completely unlike the organisms from which the material is sourced (if I'm transcribing his words more or less accurately).

That sounds like the stuff of science fiction. Does anyone know where to follow the progress of this kind of work?

His twitter account (@drmichaellevin) is a good place to start.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted for this. He often tweets out interesting articles on neuroscience and electrophysiology.

The irony is that that's where I found this article in the first place.
