Title: Quantum Biology

Abstract: The transdisciplinary field of quantum biology applies models and concepts from quantum mechanics to explain biological phenomena. After a nontechnical review of some key topics in this field where these quantum theoretical resources are deemed indispensable, I address the question of what, exactly, makes them so. I then draw implications for scientific explanation and the relations between disciplines and levels of reality, among other things.
