Recently, the biology community in a number of national reports has highlighted the need for students, who are planning biomedical careers, to acquire a core quantitative competencies. Responding to this need, the Physics department’s PHYS 170 “University Physics for the Life Sciences” re-imagines the introductory physics syllabus to channel a number of the specified competencies via a selection of biologically- and medically-relevant physics topics. The PHYS 170 instructor, Simon Mochrie, explains more in the APS Forum on Education Newsletter.
