Cover: Physicists and their students are becoming increasingly interested in biological phenomena. Biologists, for their part, are ever more aware that physical modeling and analysis can be usefully applied to biological systems. In the article beginning on page 46, Ray Goldstein and colleagues argue that biological physics should be taught in physics departments, and they offer a number of ideas for designing courses from the introductory to the graduate level.
