SUMMARY:Active Matter: Applying the soft materials paradigm to biology
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Aparna Baskaran\, Brandeis University\nHosted by: Dav
	id Campbell\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nIn this 
	talk I will introduce and discuss a new class of microscopically driven mat
	erials: active materials. Drawing lessons from both biology and in vitro ex
	perimental systems\, I will discuss theoretical challenges and different ap
	proaches that have proved fruitful so far. In particular\, I will discuss t
	he physics of active Brownian particles and active nematics.
