Our review on Marr's levels in embryonic development is now out in @prxlife.bsky.social ! journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...- How can we organize current theoretical approaches for developmental biology - from information to dynamical systems & GRNs - into a common framework? We propose to think along Marr's 3 levels: computational problem, algorithm, implementation Check out our review: arxiv.org/abs/2510.24536
