A set of #iteachphysics Qs have already been posted for today's chat, https://t.co/Zu2z69azUM But please feel free to answer any of them at any time, and just as important pose your own Qs as well.
very well written, great breath of topic from bacterial swimming to mechanics of actin filaments, a great treatment of statistical mechanics in biophysics, and the maths behind the models is explained in detail #iteachphysics#TeachingBiophysics

I am often torn as to using textbooks specifically on biophysics or using notes, review articles and such to bring out the physics in a particular biological system? Does anyone else have that issue?

Q1. Currently using free energy methods to study the structural dynamics of Prion proteins through Molecular Dynamics simulation #iteachphysics#TeachingBiophysics
Q1 #iteachphysics#teachingbiophysics Biological self-assembly, predominantly but not exclusively focussing on peptides and proteins. How we get complex architectures from (relatively) simple building blocks.

All of the above! We ask the students to write reviews of primary articles, provide notes and reading lists, and use textbook material. I do get the impression students are less likely to use textbooks these days. #iteachphysics#teachingBiophysics
First of all, people must be told that there is not any fundamental difference between Physics, biology or Chemistry. Nature does not make any distinction between the fields of Science.
I am lurking a bit this morning as I never officially taught biophysics but I tried to integrat bio into HS physics as much as possible. #iteachphysics
I say make it early and often. Show students every chance you get where things overlap. My favorite video to show https://t.co/g8erb6aV8o#ITeachPhysics
The one time I taught cell #biophysics I just used Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell. I figured most students had taken or should take a course based on that book and I wanted to send a msg that there is no dichotomy in bringing #physics into #biology#iteachphysics
I imagine his point was either the organic chemistry or chemical thermodynamics. #iteachphysics#TeachingBiophysics
The same issue might exist wrt inorganic chemistry, solid state & soft matter physics, and materials chemistry
But, I took Biophysics purely for the love of Science. How cool it is to learn all fields of Science like Physics, Chemistry and Biology at once. Biophysics is an amalgamation of all pure Science subjects
I once thought I'd want to be an uber professor and have a appointments in math, chemistry, physics, engineering, and medical school depts. Then I realized that's a lot meeting w/o a concomitant increase in parking rights. 🧐#iteachphysics#TeachingBiophysics
Q3 #iteachphysics#TeachingBiophysics I moved from a "general" science degree with a major in biochemistry and immunology to physics, and the biggest challenge was the language barrier. HUGE language barrier.
My biggest challenge was when taking genetics, w @NIHDirector actually. He kept talking about genes being expressed X% of the time, I could not figure out the formula where he got that. I had not realized that #math#biology started w counting #iteachphysics#TeachingBiophysics

Interesting application. Is it better to keep pushing with more and more fluid mechanics then pivoting to the biological application will be much easier, or does that leave biology students behind, or is that some physicist's snobbery? #iteachphysics#TeachingBiophysics
Got that right! And sometimes some of that is actual rudeness! Physicists can be the worst...but that's for another #iteachphysics chat on another day.
We just want to do the best possible job of teaching bernoulli's principle and incompressible fluid flow for non-physics majors. Hopefully this leaves bio students with a firmer grasp of how these concepts relate to the circulatory system, and medical applications of fluid mech.
I keep meaning to look further into this https://t.co/bzeAznsXLw from the UNC PER group, because I think the "authentic biological applications" would be of equal use in intro physics courses #iteachphysics#TeachingBiophysics
#iteachphysics A4: I take advantage of the coverage of #optics, #acoustics, & #electricity to weave in a good amount of #biology concepts. The eye, the ear, & the the very #electric nature of the human body provide a fertile ground for connecting these 2 cool fields of #science.
Generally like to use the best, most general textbook. Then I use specialized #biophysics textbooks to come up with homework and exam problems. Not that I have a quarrel with any biophysics textbook, but I like to stress ubiquity in #TeachingBiophysics#iteachphysics
