2004 Lectures on Opportunities in Biology
Rapid strides are occurring in biology, where enormous technical and conceptual progress has been made in the last 10 years. Biology is changing from a descriptive to a quantitative and conceptually profound field. The conference is aimed at making the physics community, particularly students and postdocs, more aware of the revolution occurring in biology. We believe that physics will make a substantial contribution to this revolution, particularly if biologists and physicists work together at this critical time.
