BPS2024 Call for Abstracts

Since graduate school, BPS Annual Meetings have given me a sense of community by creating an environment in which I can find peers, collaborators, future colleagues, and amazing mentors. Annual meetings are the best time of the year, as I often get to meet biophysicists from around the world that I only knew from research articles or Twitter, while reuniting with those that I’ve met before! — Tugba Ozturk, Washington University in St. Louis
