We are a growing South American network of scientists united by a shared passion for advancing _physics of life_ — where physics meets life’s complexity. Born from a collaborative workshop at ICTP-SAIFR in 2025, our community strives to span researchers, students, and institutions, working together to bridge disciplines and borders. The opening seminar will be held online on *June 12, 2025* at 2:30pm UTC-3 with *William Bialek* (Princeton University, USA). Zoom details will be provided closer to the event. *More information:* https://ictp-saifr.org/polsan
