This was the 4-page .pdf from "Critical Path" on the Blogspot for 2013_09_05.
In regard to the question of size, I would like to mention "The Innovator's Dilemma" by Clayton Christensen.

The thesis of this book is that a mature technology can be taken and "dumbed down" below the present state of the art. This low-tech version is now very much cheaper than the high-end. As a result, the cheap, low-tech model can be introduced into new environments and into new applications that were never imagined previously. Numerous stories and examples are given in the book. See especially the story of the cheap Japanese delivery motorcycles!
The Systems Biology of COVID-19 and the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The class will build a foundation that includes the emergence of complexity, simple biological subsystems, their reductionist and equivalent toy and organ-chip models, and the measurements required to specify model architecture and parameters. Applications to biology, physiology, medicine, chemical and biological defense, pharmacology, drug discovery, and toxicology. UGrad: PHYS 240 01 and BME 290B; Grad: PHYS 326 and BME 395C.
