When physics meets biology: a less known Feynman
There was a really good chapter on his time in a biology lab in his book, &quot;Surely you&#x27;re joking Mr. Feynman&quot;. I have always remembered this quote:<p><i>When it came time for me to give my talk on the subject, I started off by drawing an outline of the cat and began to name the various muscles.<p>The other students in the class interrupt me: &quot;We know all that!&quot;<p>&quot;Oh,&quot; I say, &quot;you do? Then no wonder I can catch up with you so fast after you&#x27;ve had four years of biology.&quot; They had wasted all their time memorizing stuff like that, when it could be looked up in fifteen minutes.</i>
