@maxhodak_ So much more potential than electrodes! So the signal will be taken from cell body of the neuron sitting in the well or are dendrites/axons connecting to the electronics interface too?

@CJHandmer But otherwise I see a Mars origin as at least as likely

@prmshra If you believe in the hydrothermal vent origin, the time available for abiogenesis is ultimately limited by the lifetime of those vents. That may very well be less than a million years. That to me is where it gets really mind-blowing.

@AndyLapsa @elonmusk Could it be scaled to starship size?

@BasedBeffJezos German word would be: Vorführeffekt

@NikoMcCarty Vital question by Nick Lane is missing

@AndyLapsa Really love the concept but have been wondering if there are any limitations (or benefits) if you scale to a bigger vehicle e.g. starship size

@darrenlogan @kkbaldwin238 Can you elaborate? I'd like to see a rat + marine mammal chimera in a OR deficient rat background to characterize eg whale ORs.

@MrGoldBro @Dylan_Morri @hermeuscorp @boomaero @ArcherAviation @jobyaviation I essentially want a bus that takes you out of town, is directly picked up by an autonomous VOTL adapter module which then flys you to the next city.

@chang_c_liu Funny how replicability is the first thing that is selected for. Makes me wonder how much of LUCA's sequence space was shaped by this.
