ABOUT CARL

I spent several decades doing research on the structure and design of DNA-binding proteins, making some fundamental contributions to the field.  In 2001, I decided to leave my positions as a tenured professor at MIT and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to look at some even-more-critical questions about the power and limits of human thought.

It’s taken some years to complete this analysis, but I now offer a fresh way of thinking — one with profound implications for our human future. I’m excited to proceed with the next three stages of my work as summarized below.
