Intelligent biology is an intensive reading club dedicated to biology. Our aim is to scrutinise the major achievements in the area by reading all kinds of the summarising material, especially books, review articles and research notes.
We start with the focus on the adaptive biology, generation of forms, genetics, and systems biology. The future will show which directions to expand the reading club to, for example, the first candidates for such an expansion are neuroscience and cognition. This strongly depends on the authors' background, which is currently biophysics, engineering, systems biology, biostatistics. However, this can be further developed by either our personal self-education or experience of the new authors (welcome!).
Our approach can be characterised as skeptical empiricism with strong emphasis on real data and being as distant from the speculations, extrapolations, and prejudice as possible. We believe that these topics are too important to give up on them by following certain interpretations based on the old data. The fresh look is always preferable.
