Not because it wasn't beautiful or anything, but because it misses the thing that most students fail to understand about molecular biology, and that is: why is there any probability at all of two complex shapes finding each other just the right way so they combine together and be catalyzed?
So to
biology
brain, physicist brain, adrenaline brain, warm-blooded-mammal brain, I get to add "urchin brain," with all of the superpowers that that confers.
For them,
biology
had shaped part of their destiny, and put, as Cassie once said, "everything noble out of reach for girls."
With the power of synthetic chemistry and molecular
biology
and just under 20 years of work, we created bacteria with six-letter DNA.
All you have to remember from your high school
biology
is that the four natural letters pair together to form two base pairs.
Now, quantum
biology
isn't new; it's been around since the early 1930s.
Organic chemistry, scaled up in complexity, gives us molecular biology, which of course leads to life itself.
Quantum
biology
isn't about this.
Quantum
biology
isn't this obvious.
And these are reductionist, deterministic chemical reactions, showing that, essentially, life is made of the same stuff as everything else, and if we can forget about quantum mechanics in the macro world, then we should be able to forget about it in biology, as well.
But as I mentioned at the start, in the last 10 years, there have been experiments emerging, showing where some of these certain phenomena in
biology
do seem to require quantum mechanics.
Another example of quantum mechanics in
biology
is quantum coherence, in one of the most important processes in biology, photosynthesis: plants and bacteria taking sunlight, and using that energy to create biomass.
Quantum
biology
is still in it infancy.
So seductive was this idea, so potent the metaphor of lock and key and killing something, that it really swept through
biology.
You know, in biology, it's location, location, location.
These fields are computational design, allowing us to design complex forms with simple code; additive manufacturing, letting us produce parts by adding material rather than carving it out; materials engineering, which lets us design the behavior of materials in high resolution; and synthetic biology, enabling us to design new biological functionality by editing DNA.
Working with an ancient material, one of the first lifeforms on the planet, plenty of water and a little bit of synthetic biology, we were able to transform a structure made of shrimp shells into an architecture that behaves like a tree.
I like to think of synthetic
biology
as liquid alchemy, only instead of transmuting precious metals, you're synthesizing new biological functionality inside very small channels.
Think of this as a form of edited
biology.
And I would say that I certainly hope that other technologies will be considered in the same way, just as we would want to consider something that could have implications in other fields besides
biology.
It's in central Hong Kong, and it's a place we can work with wood, metal, chemistry, a bit of biology, a bit of optics, basically you can build pretty much everything there.
Now, there are some assumptions behind that question that we take for granted because of our familiarity with our own human
biology.
It reminds one of
biology
classes, if you remember the human body with all its organs and circulatory systems, like at school.
To understand this, you have to understand a little bit about biology, in particular, about how humans see color.
And we found that corals, even without the
biology
involved, still prefer white and pink, the colors of a healthy reef.
Science, the pursuit of understanding the physical world by way of chemistry, physics, biology, cannot be accomplished in the absence of mathematics.
Thus, some argue that the feeling you think you feel in your soul is just
biology'
s way to make you continue our species.
Nature has selected you to have crushes on hotties, just like it makes monkeys have crushes on hot monkeys, and
biology
marches on.
Now think bigger, take it to
biology.
The idea of so much of our attraction being influenced by chemicals and evolutionary
biology
may seem cold and scientific rather than romantic, but the next time you see someone you like, try to appreciate how your entire body is playing matchmaker to decide if that beautiful stranger is right for you.
