- Developmental biologist Michael Levin announces the official, revised, peer-reviewed version of his "Platonic Space" paper.
- He says it has drawn more pushback than any of his other unpopular positions over the decades—including controversies on left-right asymmetry in embryogenesis, bioelectricity and genetics, and diverse intelligence.
- Replying, debreuil calls it the correct way to understand intelligence, backed by mountains of experimental justification, and "the most important work of the modern era."
