Day 18 of great biology papers. "Life at Low Reynolds Number," by E.M. Purcell (1976). If you push on a cell, how far will it travel before stopping? About 0.1 angstroms. And it will take just 0.6 microseconds to come to a halt. At small scales, "inertia plays no role whatsoever," says Purcell. "If you are at very low Reynolds number, what you are doing at the moment is entirely determined by the forces that are exerted on you at that moment, and by nothing in the past." A classic lecture on biophysics. Must-read for students. Link to PDF: damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gold/pdfs…
