SUMMARY:Lewis Wolpert - The development of pattern and form
DESCRIPTION:D'Arcy Thompson wrote a wonderful book 'Growth and Form' i
 n 1917 in which he tried to account for the variety of biological shap
 es in terms of physical principles. This approach has been greatly ext
 ended since his first edition, and has been very influential. The embr
 yo develops complex forms. All the cells come from a single cell, the 
 fertilised egg. During development the cells exert physical forces tha
 t bring about changes in form, and there are mechanisms for patterning
  the embryo basd on the cells knowing their position as in a coordinat
 e system. All this occurs when the embryo is very small, and then prog
 rammed growth occurs.\n\nLewis Wolpert was educated at the University 
 of Witwatersrand (BSc), Imperial College London, and at King's College
  London (PhD). He is presently Emeritus Professor of Biology as applie
 d to Medicine in the Department of Anatomy and developmental biology a
 t University College London.\n\nHe was made a Fellow of the Royal Soci
 ety in 1980 and awarded the CBE in 1990. He was made a Fellow of the R
 oyal Society of Literature in 1999.\n\nHe is a Vice-President of the B
 ritish Humanist Association\n\nTickets are available from the Universi
 ty's Online Store.\n\nDrinks reception follows.\n\nFor more informatio
