A New Thermodynamics of Biochemistry - Part 2

Explore the intersection of thermodynamics and biology in this concluding part of a two-part discussion with ecologist Mark Ritchie. Delve into how studying cellular metabolism can inform economics, the implications of improved photosynthesis models on climate change and agriculture, and how plant enzyme failure patterns might guide the search for extraterrestrial life. Gain insights into the physics of biomolecules and their networks, understanding the limits of living systems and strategies for navigating our complex world. Examine topics such as human population, metabolic entities, New York City as an example, ecological systems, the evolution of ecology, and the relationship between beef production and climate change.
