Abstract
I believe that I was asked to address my colleagues in Cryobiology because of my interest in water and how it moves across biological barriers. Apparently freezing produces differential changes in the osmolarity of cell and medium and having water around which can crystallize is not a happy event. Therefore a major portion of this talk will be devoted to the transfer of water between compartments as a consequence of osmotic gradients.
