Description
My move from Theoretical Physics to Biology has exposed me to quite a
few significant differences between the disciplines. I try to describe
some of these and to point out the aspects of this momentous move that
were gratifying and those which I found frustrating. I assume basic
knowledge of Biology, but will try to explain things in a way that
will be understandable to a Physics audience as well. While the talk
may be perceived as provocative by some, I do promise that it will not
be boring!
