Francis Collins’s The Language of God 15 Years On
Collins refers to the “backward wiring” of the vertebrate eye, characterizing it as flawed from an engineering perspective.
Engineers in the Systems Biology Revolution
Systems biology is taking the biological world by storm, an approach that treats biological systems as optimally or near-optimally engineered systems.
New BIO-Complexity Paper Details Complexity of Function and Assembly of Bacterial Flagellum
The author, Dean Schulz, an engineer with a PhD in computer science, takes a “bottom up” approach.
New Paper Investigates Engineering Design Constraints on the Bacterial Flagellum
This technique of examining biology through the eyes of engineering is not necessarily new — systems biologists have been doing it for years.
Study Challenges Evolutionary Relationship Between Flagellum and Type III Secretory System
There are various types of flagella, but all function like a rotary engine made by humans. Even non-ID scientists marvel at the complexity of these machines.
