Cells Form Into ‘Xenobots’ nn Their Own

https://www.quantamagazine.org/cells-form-into-xenobots-on-their-own-20210331/

Embryonic cells can self-assemble into new living forms that don't resemble the bodies they usually generate, challenging old ideas of what defines an organism.

04/02/2021

This spring the Media & Technology Learning Collaborative hosts a two-part workshop with Ultra-Red, an international artist collective who engage in cultural analysis through sound and listening.

In their first session, members of the collective presented an introduction to “militant sound investigation” and challenged us to create a question for the community that takes the form: “What is the sound of _____?” (Previous Ultra-Red investigations have considered the questions: “what is the sound of freedom?,” “what is the sound of anti-racism?,” “what is the sound of alternatives to incarceration?”)

On April 9, from 1–3pm, the collective will return to host a session open to all, in which we will collectively listen to and examine the sounds gathered by our community.

Everyone is welcome to attend the 2nd meeting. Whether or not you were at the 1st meeting, you can:

• create a sound recording and attend the 2nd meeting
• just attend the 2nd meeting and participate in the discussion

All the materials from the 1st event (including zoom recording) are here, if you want to watch the first workshop.

Stop Blaming Tuskegee, Critics Say. It's Not An 'Excuse' For Current Medical Racism

Yes.

The Tuskegee syphilis study is often cited as a reason why Black Americans might hesitate on the COVID-19 vaccine. But many say it's current racism in health care and Tuskegee is used as an excuse.
