Saturday and listening to my student Nick Werren speaking at our #Quantumbiology workshop (non-Markovian dynamics in open quantum systems)

[Johnjoe McFadden @johnjoemcfadden]

Nice talk by Sam Hay showing 24x enhancement of enzyme rates by quantum tunnelling at #quantumbiology @UniOfSurrey https://t.co/fDJy1Zp6q5
