Fluctuations and dynamic arrest in cells Motion of cells, and within cells, often entails fluctuations that have a strongly Brownian character.
However, these motions are driven by the molecular motors within the cells, rather than by thermal motion. This talk will describe the use of simple optical methods to measure this motion, and the analysis that elucidates the nature of the fluctuations. I will also describe the fluctuating motion of collections of cells themselves, and will show how it is very strongly influenced by the stiffness of the substrate on which the cells are grown.
The talk will conclude with a very brief discussion of a new course on science taught at Harvard University that combines science and cooking and is a collaboration between Harvard science professors and world-class chefs, many from Barcelona, including Ferran Adria.
