Nice summary from
@BNerlich of the reporting on those "xenobots", which, it seems, provoked all the usual Frankenstein quotes. Such things 1. miss the point of what this stuff is really about (more on that anon), and...

Yep, theories aplenty; they're basically here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.02688/full … These Xenobots are the first step towards testing some of them by building things from the ground up.

This is HUGE! These are the first ever LIVING or bio-robots called "Xenobots" made of entirely organic cells In the future could help clean up oceans, deliver drugs in the body and more. We break it down in our new vid here: https://youtu.be/js6uTRT8KO4 pic.twitter.com/UZc4uyLAxN

To be clear, this is not a new field: it’s ALife. I just found it amusing to see “Xenobot Researcher” on CNN. If you are interested in this kind of work, check out

A new field is born!
@FWhitfield speaks to@DoctorJosh, *Xenobot Researcher*. After working on this paper for over a year (with Douglas Blackiston and@drmichaellevin), it’s exhilarating and a little surreal to see our creatures on@CNN.pic.twitter.com/K3TLcyuxYiShow this threadThanks.
