The Linked Futures of Computer Science and Biology
Both “machines” process information
Both apply a well-known physics
The overlap links CS and biology
My hypotheses
Example 1: Ill-posed problems
Nature gives us a clue...
How might we attack ill-posed problems
We don't know how...
A golden opportunity
Learning transistors
Learning chips
Silicon learning can mimic biology
Example 2: Probing animal behavior
Microelectronics can probe neurobiology
Silicon for intracellular recording
