520 3  Biological physics, or the physics of living systems, has 
       emerged fully as a field of physics, alongside more 
       traditional fields of astrophysics and cosmology, atomic, 
       molecular and optical physics, condensed matter physics, 
       nuclear physics, particle physics, and plasma physics. 
       This new field brings the physicist's style of inquiry to 
       bear on the beautiful phenomena of life. The enormous 
       range of phenomena encountered in living systems -- 
       phenomena that often have no analog or precedent in the 
       inanimate world -- means that the intellectual agenda of 
       biological physics is exceptionally broad, even by the 
       ambitious standards of physics. Physics of Life is the 
       first decadal survey of this field, as part of a broader 
       decadal survey of physics. This report communicates the 
       importance of biological physics research; addresses what 
       must be done to realize the promise of this new field; and
       provides guidance for informed decisions about funding, 
       workforce, and research directions.
