The Role of Orientational Order in Development

Explore a 58-minute seminar lecture from Professor Mark Bowick of the University of California, Santa Barbara, examining the crucial role of orientational order in developmental processes. Delivered as part of the Statistical Physics in Living Matter series focusing on non-equilibrium states under adaptive control, the presentation delves into fundamental concepts connecting statistical physics principles to biological development mechanisms. Learn how orientational ordering influences living systems and their developmental pathways through the lens of advanced statistical physics frameworks.
