Last year, I was invited to speak at @TEDAIVienna about a project that has shaped so much of my thinking and work - the search for the ‘world’s loneliest plant’. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who supported this search and journey. Link to talk: ted.com/talks/laura_ci…

Hay varios proyectos de investigación que trabajan en una solución. ¿Tinder para plantas? wired-en-espanol.visitlink.me/e-1aBM

La planta casi extinta a la que los científicos le buscan pareja. 😲 La Encepahalartos woodii (E. woodii) es una planta de la que solo hay un ejemplar macho conocido, por lo que no hay posibilidad de una reproducción natural. 👇 elespectador.com/ciencia/el-uni…

Our search for Encephalartos woodii using drones and AI is featured in @derStandardat this week. Ahead of @TEDAIVienna talk, we spoke with Stefan Mey about drones, mapping & AI at the intersection of conservation research and artistic practice. 🔗 derstandard.at/story/30000003…

We use bacteria to create real-time images! British artist Howard Boland from @clabblurb blurs the boundaries between art and science by using synthetic biology to create unique pieces of living art. 🎨 c-lab.co.uk/projects

Excited to begin new project in Romania with @marginal_ro + @IBB_Biology. I'll be working with Dr Roxana Nicoară to study 'Salvia nemorosa' on ancient kurgans. 📷: Nicoară Andrei, May 2025 #OtherwiseResidency #Kurgans #Ecology

The first speakers at TEDAI Vienna (September 2025) were announced yesterday - Anna Topol (CTO, IBM Research) - Advait Sarkar (Researcher, Microsoft) - Laura Cinti (Artist, C-Lab) - Swami Sivasubramanian (VP of Agentic AI, AWS)

Delighted to present ‘Becoming Female’ (2025) at H for Hybrid @ Wizard Lab (Milan), curated by Gabriela Galati. This constellation of images and artefacts capture fragments of our project in motion, tracing the intersections of history, search, (de)extinction, and transformation.

Researchers are using technology such as drones and artificial intelligence to search for a female specimen of E. woodii, a species of cycad of which there is only one known male specimen and a number of clones. More from @waresgemma for @ConversationUK theconversation.com/a-lonely-and-a…
