Résumé

The first lecture introduces the philosophical contours of my view of modern quantitative biology, culminating in a definition of understanding that can answer the question of what sets the scale of biological sizes, time scales, concentrations, rates, energies and beyond. Two case studies illustrate the general idea: what sets the rate of bacterial division and what sets the size of cells?
