Biological Cybernetics: 60 years and more to come

Long, Hot Years to Come

American as cherry pie' he was exposing the vein of violence in American life. An awareness of this aspect of American society is vital to an understanding of the meaning of past and present 'long, hot summers'. This violence has long historical antecedents in America's frontier heritage and in the present competitive, often ruthless, race for success. This is reflected in every aspect of Ameri...

Non-small cell lung cancer treatment (r)evolution: ten years of advances and more to come

Diagnostic and treatment algorithms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are evolving at a never-before-seen pace. Histological subtyping to maximise treatment efficacy and avoid toxicity has marked the beginning of the revolution, opening the way to molecular characterisation to guide genomically driven treatments with targeted agents, led by Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and Anapla...

Six Years with Adult Human Brown Adipose Tissue and Many More to Come

Remarkably, it is still only 6 years ago that the existence of active brown adipose tissue in adult humans was first presented to the metabolic scientific community, based on data circulating quietly in the realms of radiology; and it is still only 4 years ago that a series of dedicated experimental studies convinced a broad scientific world that adult humans really possessed a “new” organ: bro...

Beyond design: cybernetics, biological computers and hylozoism

The history of British cybernetics offers us a different form of science and engineering, one that does not seek to dominate nature through knowledge. I want to say that one can distinguish two different paradigms in the history of science and technology: the one that Heidegger despised, which we could call the Modern paradigm, and another, cybernetic, nonModern, paradigm that he might have app...
