2012 Niven Lecture: On growth and form: geometry, physics and biology

The diversity of form in living beings led Darwin to state that it is "enough to drive the sanest man mad". How can we describe this variety? How can we predict it?  Motivated by biological observations on different scales from molecules t   more››
