title: Biophysics in space.
abstract: Biophysics is an interdisciplinary field of study where various disciplines work together, with results of much interest to many scientists and students of the life sciences.  Since physics is not always accessible to and understandable to biologists and life sometimes too simplified, this presentation focusses on models to help understand the biological effects of space factors, with emphasis on free radicals.
