I experienced collaborations between biology, engineering and social sciences with a playful attitude. For my PhD, I switched to information processing in biological systems, and have been fascinated by how the brain interprets sensory information ever since. My PhD in computational and neural systems was a formational time.

The general idea of synthetic biology is that we can engineer microbes to do things that naturally occurring microbes don’t do,” he says. Each time we make changes, we test what is and isn’t successful, and use that data to help improve designs until we can successfully engineer microbes to produce the desired product,” he says.

While my academic background is in the social sciences and more specifically educational studies, I believe that regardless of your discipline, social sciences or natural sciences, the research process, structurally speaking, is more or less the same. What you need is access to academic search engines.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. There had been precursors of steam engines even in antiquity, but it was only in 1712 that the first practical steam engine was developed. Lazare Carnot died in 1823.

And one of the great feelings of power has been that even in fields—like the social sciences—where there haven’t really been much more than “verbal” models before, it’s now appeared possible to get models that at least seem much more “scientific”. In some ways, ruliology is like natural science.

The results (which ultimately rely on all sorts of specific engineering) are remarkably “human like”. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want.
