Internet giant and search engine, Google, celebrates Mária Telkes on December 12 with a doodle on its home page on her birth anniversary, Professor Mária Telkes (Born: 12 December 1900, Died: 2 December 1995, Budapest, Hungary) was a Hungarian-American scientist and biophysicist known for inventing multiple solar power devices and technologie, it was informed [1].
Remembering noted bio-physicist, Professor Tekes, I revisited the knowledge area of Biophysics by organing an ABC pattern poem on it,
The pattern poem is extracted from Wikipedia post on biophysics [2]
A: Application of approaches and methods of physical sciences to study biological phenomena and medicines
B: Boundary breaking between physical and biological sciences across all scales of biological organization, from molecular to organismic and populations
C: Covers knowledge areas that over-lap as biochemistry, molecular biology, physical chemistry, physiology, nanotechnology, bio-engineering, computational biology, bio-mechanics, developmental biology and systems biology
D: Discovering physical phenomena like electric current, temperature, stress, entropy in biological systems
E: Emphasis on experimental techniques derived from physics, as well as mathematics and statistics, to larger bio-systems
