#anthrobots
Some cells keep working after the organism dies, and can even form new multicellular "bots" like xenobots and anthrobots. Scientists call it the "third state." 🧬

We need more, MUCH more, hunky 'AnthroBots' like this good-looking stud~

If genes are "stable traits," why do we have quite different phenotypes in anthrobots vs. humans, given they share the same genome?
💡 New preprint!

Cross-lagged panel models only work if stable traits (genes, upbringing) aren't secretly confounding your results. Can including a latent variable save the day? We tested 6 SEM models to find out when it does — and when it doesn't.

do you ever do any public speaking or for the public classes on robotics/anthrobots? i live in greensboro bend vermont and my partner and i would love to attend something of yours

@drmichaellevin.bsky.social did anthrobots and xenobots all self organize in the same way ? was there any variation ?

To me, as a layman, this seems to be an opening into an entirely new field in medical research.

"Third state" of existence between life and death confirmed by scientists
While this may seem like pure fantasy, a recent study suggests that a “third state” of existence might actually be present in modern biology.

and here I thought anthrobots were robotic fursuits we could download our minds into, smh :/
