Description:
The divide between living and not has long seemed unbridgeable, enshrined in disciplinary distinctions between the physical and life sciences. These boundaries are gone – it is now clear that life is a set of remarkable physical processes, not a separate domain of science subject to unique rules. This realization changes the way we teach physics to students interested in studying life. In this talk, I will give examples of how we help students to recognize the essential role physics plays in understanding life and its diversity.
