Drift, Mutation, and the Origins of Biological Scaling Relationship - Mike Lynch

Explore the fascinating world of biological scaling relationships in this lecture by Mike Lynch from Arizona State University. Delve into the concepts of drift and mutation as key factors influencing the evolution of organisms. Gain insights into how these processes contribute to the emergence of scaling patterns observed across different species and biological systems. Discover the implications of these relationships for understanding biodiversity, evolutionary dynamics, and the fundamental principles governing life at various scales. This Blackboard Lunch talk, presented at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, aims to bridge the gap between specialized fields and foster interdisciplinary discussions among scientists from diverse backgrounds.
