CROWDSOURCING RNA DESIGN
● eterna.cmu.edu● Gamified molecule design● “An enthusiastic group of non-experts...
has produced designs for RNA molecules that are consistently more successful than those generated by the best computerized design algorithms...”

MODELING THE HUMAN BRAIN
● Creating a complete virtual human brain

A QUESTION OF STORAGE
● brainbackups.com● 100,000,000,000 neurons * 10,000
synapses = 1,000,000,000,000,000● 1 terabyte = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes● 1,000,000,000,000,000/1,099,511,627,776
= 909.49 terabytes● 1 terabyte hard drive = ~$90 –> storage for
all human neurons and synapses ~$90 * 909.49 = ~$81,854
REPAIRS & REPLACEMENTSFixing Biological Problems

STEVE AUSTIN NOW $6,000 MAN
● "Prosthetic limbs have now reached the stage where they offer equivalent or slightly improved functionality to human limbs. Brain-machine interfaces in the form of brain-implants are demonstrating that directly bridging the gap between brain and machine is possible."
