Physics Professor Philip Nelson Expands on New Textbook, "Physical Models of Living Systems" in SAS Frontiers Interview

Professor Nelson as quoted:

"I didn't feel there was a book that really spoke to Physics students about why this subject might be interesting to them... There was a gap there." A textbook is a daunting proposition for any academic, one that involves putting other research on hold...

Some of the best examples documenting the works in Professor Nelson's new textbook found here http://www.physics.upenn.edu/biophys/PMLS/  is this video on the time elapse of Cell Division in a frog embryo! http://vimeo.com/117411108
