The Age of Living Machines: How Biology Will Build the Next Technology Revolution
With an anticipated world population of over 9.5 billion by 2050, we face an unprecedented challenge to provide sustainably sufficient food, water, energy and healthcare. Convergence, the merging of previously distinct disciplines, has emerged as a powerful model with untold potential to drive a new cycle of innovation-based economic growth. Bringing together insights and discoveries from the life, engineering, computation, and physical sciences holds the promise of accelerating discovery and the development of new technologies to meet the 21st century’s needs. Promoting convergence approaches in education and research can pave the way to the discoveries and technologies that will transform our world. Presented by Dr. Susan Hockfield, President Emerita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Professor of Neuroscience.
