 ckground: white;">Dr. Gulliver noticed 150 years ago that the size of the c
 ell's nucleus is proportional to the size of the cell. Scaling of other org
 anelles, such as the mitotic spindle, the nucleolus, mitochondria, etc., wi
 th cell size has been reported over the years. These observations suggest a
 n engineering problem that cells face: How do living cells measure their ow
 n size and incorporate this information in the process of organelle assembl
 y? I will review theoretical ideas and experiments that support a simple me
 chanism for detecting the cell volume, which is based on depleting the pool
  of building blocks in the process of assembly. In some cases the cell is f
 aced with the challenge of measuring its linear dimensions to control the l
 ength of a self-assembling &nbsp;filamentous structure, in which case the l
 imiting pool mechanism does not work. I will describe some of our recent ex
 periments and related theory that address the question of how cells measure
  length.</p>
