Greetings from this year’s csv,conf! This version (5) was held virtually on Crowdcast, but still featured many interesting talks and llamas. Videos coming soon to the csv,conf YouTube channel. Also featured was the Orthogonal Research and Education Laboratory, with a talk on Epistemological Directories!

Interested in the intersection of Theoretical Biology and Open Data? I just presented a talk called “Developing the (Virtual) Worm Via Data-theoretical Synthesis” at Virtual Worm 2020. Virtual Worm is an online lecture series hosted by Dr. Adrian Assie, and serves as an excellent resource for C. elegans researchers homebound during the COVID pandemic. Check out their YouTube channel for past talks.

Open Science is great, but institutional inertia and societal challenges can still hinder research. In “Building a Distributed Virtual Laboratory Adjacent to Academia”, live now on MetaArXiv, learn how to develop an alternative academic institution.

If tech innovator and venture capitalist Marc Andreesen (author of this piece) turns out to be a longstanding proponent of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis, I am going to be fucking furious. In addition, he uses the term “build” like Donald Trump uses the word “powerful” (THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING). That is all.

New research from the Saturday Morning NeuroSim group at the Orthogonal Research and Education Lab. “Braitenberg Vehicles as Developmental Neurosimulation” is now live as a preprint on both ResearchGate and the arXiv. 

Learn how Braitenberg Vehicles are being used to model developmental processes, from multisensory Hebbian learning to group behaviors. Also learn about the variety of techniques we use to simulate development, from genetic algorithms to the cybernetic regulation of embodiment. 

Be sure to check out our repository of open-source software platforms such as BraGenBrain. And if you are on Twitter tomorrow around 14:45 UTC, check out our presentation at OHBMx.

This Darwin Day, take time to read about some neuroscience! In “Sperry, Darwin, and the Evolution of Reference Frames“, we will be introduced to frogs, sensorimotor plasticity, and evolutionary trade-offs.If he were alive today, Darwin would visit Synthetic Daisies to read it, and so should you!
