Joel Wellbourne-Wood (Department of fundamental Neurosciences, University of Lausanne) / Structure, function, life, and the emergence of spontaneous order.
The emergence of order from chaos in an entropic universe is a curious phenomenon. From the level of single molecules to large scale social systems, self-organization allows for the dynamic interaction of functional constructs towards a predictable outcome, in a game where the motivations arise from singular insufficiency and the struggle to survive in a dangerous environment. Here we will look at some natural examples of patterning, form, and self-organization in the molecular world, cellular world, and in the realm of animal and human behavior. Finally, we will reflect on how this organization came about mechanistically, and how we might better understand it, and our relationship with it.
Joel Wellbourne-Wood is currently researching at the Department of fundamental Neurosciences at the University of Lausanne
