OK, so maybe computer viruses, but physical objects such as buildings and microprocessors don't have the property that they reproduce themselves." In addition to this reproduction, Knight was fascinated by the storage capacity of cells. Theoretical physicists do not do experiments but they get others to do them. Phillips, R., Kondev, J., & Theriot, J. Department of Anatomy and Cellular Biology, Tufts University School of Medicine, 136 Harrison Ave., Boston, MA 02111, USA. However, for the most part, biologists, cell and molecular biologists in particular, do not know how to develop models, and much less how to use them. For all author emails, please log on. Berliner, E., Young, E.C., Anderson, K., Mahtani, H.K., & Gelles, J. Overall this is a beautiful book. Cancer Cell International 2012, 12:12 doi:10.1186/1475-2867-12-12. Models require an uncanny ability to read data, The theorist is a figure common in the physical sciences, particularly Physics, whose job is to generate models from data and to provide theories that explain the phenomena. It is idiosyncratic, engaging, fascinating-a book that I actually enjoyed reading. Tom Knight, founding director of BioBricks, was pulled away from computer science and into synthetic biology after becoming fascinated by cell division and data storage. Physical Biology of the Cell is a biophysics textbook that explores how the basic tools and insights of physics and mathematics can illuminate the study of molecular and cell biology.
