“Michael Levin is a biologist at Tufts University working on novel ways to understand and control complex pattern formation in biological systems.”

“Janna Levin is a theoretical physicist and cosmologist specializing in black holes, cosmology of extra dimensions, topology of the universe, and gravitational waves.”

“The article doesn't contain a direct quote.”

“Understanding intelligence as a spectrum, from molecular networks to human minds, could be crucial for humanity's future technological development.”

“Michael Levin's research focuses on understanding the biophysical mechanisms of pattern regulation and harnessing endogenous bioelectric dynamics for rational control of growth and form.”

“The article doesn't contain a direct quote, but it highlights the discussion with Sergey Levine about game-changing developments.”

“Michael Levin discusses novel ways to understand and control complex pattern formation in biological systems.”

“The episode covers topics like end-to-end learning, reinforcement learning, and the application of these techniques to robotics.”

“machines can be “out there in the real world, learning continuously through their own experience.””

“Michael explains how our DNA doesn’t control everything and how the behavior of cells in living organisms can be modified and adapted.”

“Sergey's research interests, and our discussion, focus in on include how robotic learning techniques can be used to allow machines to acquire autonomously acquire complex behavioral skills.”
