From Friday, January 9, 2015 Sunday to January 11, 2015 the Conference: "Dynamics Days" will be hosted by the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (CTBP), an NSF Physics Frontier Center. Located in Houston with participation from Rice University, the Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Houston, the CTBP mission is to foster the convergence of physics and biology to make sense of complex living systems. At the same time, results from this research will feed back into physics in general, and help develop new ways of thinking about all complex system phenomena. The conference will be attended by 100-200 people, with the core of the audience consisting from physicists and mathematicians, but including a substantial number of people from other fields such as engineering, biology, and chemistry. The conference format consists of a single plenary session. Topics covered in the conference will include dynamics on and of complex networks, nonlinear dynamics of biological systems, synchronization and self-organization of nonlinear systems, geophysical fluid dynamics, and pattern formation. This conference is essential for maintaining coherence among all the disparate researchers involved in using physics and mathematics to make sense of complex systems. Thus, researchers focusing on the Physics of Living Systems (PoLS) will be able to interact directly with researchers who may be pioneering new methods, in other contexts. Conversely, scientists who have never been exposed to the enormous challenges encountered in the biological realm will get to hear talks by leading PoLS researchers and may have much to offer. Even as the PoLS field reaches out to the biology community, maintaining ties with physics remain a high priority. Dynamics Days will help make sure that this occurs. This meeting will bring together scientists actively engaged in Dynamics research. Most of the participants in Dynamics Days will be students and postdocs coming from a broad spectrum of the community. They will all be expected to present posters on their own research work. The most immediate broad impact will be on broadening the educational experience for the junior participants. In addition, local undergraduates, both from Rice and from the CTBP's existing network of collaborating minority- and Hispanic- serving institutions will be invited.

从2015年1月9日，星期五至2015年1月11日，会议：“动态日”将由NSF物理边界中心理论生物物理中心（CTBP）主持。 CTBP任务位于赖斯大学，贝勒医学院和休斯敦大学，位于休斯敦，旨在促进物理和生物学的融合，以使复杂的生活系统有意义。同时，这项研究的结果一般将重新回到物理学中，并有助于开发考虑所有复杂系统现象的新方法。会议将有100-200人参加，观众的核心由物理学家和数学家组成，但包括来自工程，生物学和化学等其他领域的大量人。会议格式由一次全体会议组成。会议中涵盖的主题将包括关于复杂网络和复杂网络的动力学，生物系统的非线性动力学，非线性系统的同步和自组织，地球物理流体动力学和模式形成。这次会议对于维持参与使用物理学和数学以使复杂系统的所有不同研究人员之间的连贯性至关重要。因此，专注于生活系统物理（POL）的研究人员将能够直接与可能在其他情况下开创新方法的研究人员进行互动。相反，从未受到过在生物领域遇到的巨大挑战的科学家会听到领先的POLS研究人员的谈判，并且可能有很多东西可以提供。即使POLS领域与生物学界接触，与物理学保持联系仍然很高。动态日将有助于确保发生这种情况。这次会议将使科学家积极参与动态研究。动态时代的大多数参与者都是来自社区广泛的学生和博士后。他们都将在自己的研究工作中介绍海报。最直接的影响将是扩大初级参与者的教育经验。此外，将邀请来自大米和CTBP现有的合作少数民族和西班牙裔服务机构的本地本科生。
