mSphere of Influence: Learning Biology from the Radio

Daniel Schultz works at the intersection of microbiology and biological physics. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how two papers concerning the radio, “Can a biologist fix a radio? Or, what I learned while studying apoptosis” by Yuri Lazebnik and “The evolved radio and its implications for modeling the evolution of novel sensors” by Jon Bird and Paul Layzell, offered him complementary perspectives on how to bridge the gap between engineering and biology in the study of cellular circuits.
