Coincidentally I'm previewing PBotC just now. It looks really promising. Do you know roughly when the new edition is expected? Or if you have any favorite books on how things work at that scale, I'd be grateful for the pointer. (I've read a popular book by David Goodsell and am halfway through a somewhat deeper one.)


> PBotC [...] when the new edition

No idea, sorry.

> favorite books on how things work at that scale

I've found the bionumbers database[1] very helpful. Google scholar and sci-hub for primary and secondary literature. But books... I'd welcome suggestions. I'm afraid I mostly look at related books to be inspired by things taught badly.

The bionumbers folks did a "Cell Biology by the Numbers" book... the draft is online[2].

Ha, they've done a Covid-19 by the numbers flyer[3].

If you ever encounter something nice -- paper, video, text, or whatever, or even discussion of what that might look like -- I'd love to hear of it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks! I guess I'll try the bionumbers book first.

I'll keep you in mind, too.
