"Living Systems Across Scales"
Organisms of different sizes face distinct energetic challenges and yet, they are related by common allometric scaling laws. Why does evolution seem to repeatedly arrive at the same body proportions? We will address this question by exploring how common mechanisms lead to diverse pattern formation across a wide range of plants and animals.
