Dear {{first_name | reader}},

Last week at the Next Nature Conference in Eindhoven, I shared my talk Responsible AI × Biodesign — exploring how artificial intelligence is changing how we design with life.

Many of you asked to see the full slides and notes, so here they are. This is actually the full slide deck, which is extended version used for the the talk itself, so it has additional slides and notes:

The presentation covers:

  • How AI models like AlphaFold and ESMFold are reshaping molecular design

  • Why responsibility, empathy, and uncertainty are new design materials

  • What it means to design within thresholds — between algorithms and organisms

For Foundational Tier members, you now get extra resources:

  • Editable Powerpoint & Google Slides version you can adapt for your own teaching or projects

  • Biodesign Academy ImageBank — 170 curated visuals and diagrams used in the talk and other past materials. Feel free to use them, and give credit to Biodesign Academy when appropriate.

These resources were created to help you bring responsible, AI-driven biodesign into your own classroom, lab, or studio — without needing a lab coat or supercomputer.

Coming soon:
In January 2026, I’ll host a three-part live course — Designing Responsibly with AI: A Deep Dive into Biodesign Futures. Early-access opens next week for subscribers.

Thank you for the energy and curiosity following my talk.
Let’s keep building a responsible, imaginative future: one fold, one molecule, one idea at a time.
