Are you passionate about #ALife, eager to gain hands-on experience in event management, and interested in networking with leading researchers in the field? Join us to volunteer the upcoming @alifeconf.bsky.social, taking place from August 17th to 21st! #ALIFE2026 🔗 forms.gle/5ew4E3cRoyMo...

1/📢 Announcing our next ERA Journal Club session 📍May 23, 5:00 PM BST on Discord: discord.gg/m3qvuXgkZ7 This work introduces a new coevolutionary cellular automata domain and studies open-ended dynamics related to different learning algorithms. 🤖🔄🦠

2/All the complexity that surrounds us, from technological infrastructure to life forms and their cultures, is the result of our last universal common ancestor, and it seems that this ability to create novelty from finite resources knows no bounds. Can we describe this mechanism?

3/Points to discuss at the JC: Can we quantify open-endedness? Can we reduce biological creativity to mere syntactic operations? How does that affect our understanding of what life is and how it can be created from scratch?🔍 Bring a friend, bring a question. See you there!🌱

Interested in #robotics? Join our next Professional Town Hall on May 14th! Our speakers will explore how Hebbian learning allows identical neural controllers in modular soft robots to differentiate into specialized "brains" for different body parts. 🤖 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

1/📢 Announcing our next ERA Journal Club session 📍May 2, 9:00 AM GMT on Discord: discord.gg/m3qvuXgkZ7 Title: “Towards chemistries in dynamical systems” by Martin Biehl (@crosslabsai.bsky.social). Join us to explore how to capture chemistry-like dynamics in cellular automata! 🧪

2/Is it possible to coarse-grain any dynamical system in terms of molecules and their reactions? This work introduces a methodology for describing cellular automata as such. It explores the advantages and limitations of chemical reaction networks (also known as Petri nets). 🧫

3/Points to discuss at the JC: How to describe aspects of any dynamical system in terms of molecules and their reactions? How can we apply this methodology to cellular automata? What are the limits of such a novel approach? 🔍 Bring a friend, bring a question. See you there!🌱

Due to a higher-than-expected number of submissions, we’re seeking additional reviewers for #ALIFE2026. If you are willing to review (or know someone who might be), please fill out the short form forms.gle/y4SLEL19Ygie...
