The article is about computers as "part of biological research". I wish it had been about the real place I want biologists: designing the computer systems themselves. Biological systems have scaling and reliability that we computer scientists only dream about. (Can you name a self-repairing computer system that runs for 80 years?) I want computers with the kind of systems thinking that biological systems have, not just more x86 cores on a single chip. The only biologist I know who switched to designing computer systems is Alan Kay. I think we could do with a few more like him.
