Am not surprised to see Damien Woods. Few years ago I got to see Nicolas Schabanel on a talk about dna tiles as computing block, a long time partner of Woods IIRC. Fascinating subject since they went up to Game of Life and had a form of compiler for it. The only issue was stability with large "programs" which impeded more abstract stuff (say lambda calculus). Ultra exciting stuff and ultra concerning too.<p>btw Schabanel university math group (Paris Diderot IREM) just made a peertube instance to host videos<p><a href="https://video.irem.univ-paris-diderot.fr/videos/watch/2082cc39-5c7f-4b72-b120-540567af05b2" rel="nofollow">https://video.irem.univ-paris-diderot.fr/videos/watch/2082cc...</a> <= Schabanel conference (french speaking)
