The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology's Spring 2018 Seminar Series features Jayanth Banavar, a Provost at the University of Oregon. They will be speaking upon, "Metabolic scaling of living organisms." 

Banavar, whose research frequently involves interdisciplinary collaboration with the life sciences, is currently focused on applying the techniques of statistical physics to solve interdisciplinary problems, explaining, for example, why biological molecules tend to curl up into helices or to understand the rich biodiversity of tropical forests and coral reefs.
