Event Description
Speaker: Stephen Quake, Professor of Bioengineering, Physics and Applied Physics, Stanford University
Topic: BSA Distinguished Lecture: Precision Measurements in Biology
Quake will argue that both physics and biology can be tied together by the use and consequences of precision measurement. The elementary quanta of biology are the macromolecule and the cell. He will describe how precision measurements have been used to explore the basic properties of these quanta, and more generally, how the quest for higher precision almost inevitably leads to the development of new technologies, which in turn catalyze further scientific discovery. According to Quake, there are no experimental barriers to biology becoming a truly quantitative and mathematical science. |
