SUMMARY:On Growth and Form: Geometry\, Physics and Biology
DESCRIPTION:Featuring L. Mahadevan\, Harvard University\nHosted by: David C
	ampbell\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/posters/2012_Fall/02_Mahadevan.pdf\n
	\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nAbstract:\nThe divers
	ity of form in plants led Darwin to state that it is "enough to drive the s
	anest man mad" \, begging the questions of how to describe this variety and
	  how to predict it?  Motivated by observations of geometrical fo
	rms  in plants and animals ranging from leaves and flowers to vertebra
	te guts\,  I will show how a combination of biological and physical&nb
	sp; experiments\,  mathematical models and simple  computati
	ons allow us to begin unravelling the physical basis for morphogenesis.
