" Consider the case of biophysics, or biological physics β where physicists apply their methods to the study of living systems. Whether or not this field is physics or βnot physicsβ has vexed the community for a century."

This is fascinating work from @yamini_ravichan and @RouxLab
In our new bioRXiv, @yamini_ravichan shows that soft compression of head-regenerating tissues from Hydra induces bicephalous regeneration. During soft compression, a second actin nematic defects appears on the wound. https://t.co/dJA6KQ7zCj

India needs a centre like this
Excited to help launch the National Institue for Theory and Mathematics in Biology, a joint Northwestern-UChicago venture funded with $50M from NSF/Simons . Please share to advertise our upcoming postdoctoral fellowship!

Bottom up, even in principle, might never give the view from the mountaintop. The paradigm for top-down modeling is theoretical physics.

βThe message of biological physics is that the beautiful phenomena of life connect to deep physical principles. Realizing the promise of biological physics will change how we think about life, how we think about physics, and how we think about ourselves.β
Opinion: Biological #Physics is coming of age! Once an awkward confrontation between disciplines, now #BiologicalPhysics is showing that life is not just a mess: https://t.co/SQ1ptKpHlT.
