Module 2 of Physics of Life concerns biomechanics.

 Living things are subject to the same mechanical stresses and strains as everything else in the world. Living systems manipulate those physical forces in extraordinarily clever ways. That cleverness and novelty is the stuff of evolutionary adaptation.

In this module, we explore this realm, taking care to relate it to the common currency of it all: energy.
