DESCRIPTION:\n    Biology\, the science of life\, has borrowed many theore
 tical insights and mathematical tools to try to make sense of how living o
 rganisms came to be\, keep their integrity\, and evolve. Galileo's eloquen
 t view of the "book of nature" as written in the language of geometry (tak
 en from ancient Greek philosophy) set the stage for today's ubiquitous use
  of mathematical models. The presence of theoretical perspectives in the b
 iological sciences reminds us of the 1900s\, a time in which many biologis
 ts expressed "physics envy"\, that is\, the desire to be able to treat bio
 logical phenomena with the power of abstraction used in math and\, above a
 ll\, as seen in the physical models of reality. What have we learned in bi
 ology from this perspective and what can we learn today? I will embark on 
 a journey through the contributions of noted physicists and mathematicians
  to the realm of biology and I will talk about our own (envy-free) work on
  conceptual and theoretical evolutionary and developmental models.\n\nhttp
