Lecture
Broken Symmetries in Living Matter
Description
This lecture explores the concept of broken symmetries in living matter, focusing on time reversal symmetry, spatiotemporal symmetry, and chiral symmetry breaking. It delves into the experimental tools, data analysis frameworks, and theoretical models used to study these phenomena, as well as the role of topological defects in organizing biological activity.
