Participants discussed teaching physics for life sciences students, sharing activities or labs they have created. We also briefly looked at some of the research related to Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences (IPLS). This discussion laid the groundwork for a follow-up workshop on Physics Activities for Life Sciences (PALS).
