I know that Susan has done a lot of more up to date and relevant work in
the area of bio-inspired computing and I haven't followed it all nor do
I fully appreciate what she meant when she once told me that
"Embryology" was the most inspiring area in that regard that she was
working with.   I'll find a more up to date material I hope, but *this*
2003 white-paper might be of some interest...
