DESCRIPTION:Research in fluid mechanics has long been motivated by the des
 ire to understand the world around us. Biology\, in particular\, is domina
 ted by transport problems involving fluids\, from the diffusion of nutrien
 ts and locomotion to flows around plants and the circulatory system of ani
 mals. The biological realm has therefore long been a source of inspiration
  for fluid mechanicians. \n\nIn the 1950s\, driven by the desire to unders
 tand the locomotion of spermatozoa\, G I Taylor - the founder of modern fl
 uid mechanics whose name is associated with this lecture - was the first t
 o carry out a mathematical analysis of locomotion in a fluid. In the spiri
 t of Taylor\, I will highlight in this lecture examples where an analysis 
 of fluid motion has lead to novel understanding of biological processes in
  the realm of cellular motility.
