DESCRIPTION:How does work get done in living systems\, at different levels
  of biological organisation?\nCan answers to that question help to us to b
 etter understand crucial questions about organisms\,\nincluding humans? Th
 ese are questions posed by Work Meets Life\, developed by a group of resea
 rchers\nfrom the University of Colorado and the University of Cambridge\, 
 including Darwin College\, and\ncovering topics from cellular physiology t
 o information demands in neurons to limits on organisms\ninvesting attenti
 on in work tasks.\n\nOur special workshop starts with a lunchtime seminar 
 giving an overview of this biologically\nintegrative approach\, then focus
 es on the impact of intensive energetic requirements for transmitting\ninf
 ormation in neural systems. The regular 15-minute question period will fol
 low the presentation\, and\nthen after a short break\, we will have an opt
 ional interactive continued discussion\, focused on\nimplications for util
 izing this approach in understanding crucial natural sciences research que
 stions –\nincluding you own.
