Connect with other undergraduates at this “breakfast” for a valuable networking and social opportunity. You will also have a chance to meet and talk to Biophysical Society Committee members, and scientists at all career levels to discuss academic goals and questions and learn how to develop a career path in biophysics. Hear from invited speaker(s) who will share their stories and answer questions. Space for this session is limited to the first 100 attendees. Moderator Thayaparan Paramanathan, Bridgewater State University, USA Speakers Megan Nunez, Wellesley College, USA Ruben L. Gonzalez, Jr., Columbia University, USA Exhibitor Presentation Carl Zeiss Microscopy LLC 11:30 am - 1:00 pm, Room 103C ZEISS Dynamics Profiler – Push Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy to a New Level The ZEISS Dynamics Profiler for Airyscan 2 offers an innovative approach to studying molecular dynamics in living samples, expanding upon tradi tional fluorescence correlation spectroscopy methods. With remarkably easy access to molecular dynamics, researchers can gain deeper insights into complex biological systems. The unique design of the Airyscan 2 de tector enables the Dynamics Profiler to provide new discoveries through asymmetric diffusion and flow analyses; hence, providing a compre hensive view of molecular dynamics. With the ability to study a wide range of biological samples, the Dynamics Profiler is a powerful tool for researchers in the life sciences seeking to advance their understanding of dynamic biological processes. Speaker Samantha Fore, Life Sciences Product Marketing Manager Laser Scan ning Microscopy, ZEISS Research Microscopy Solutions North America Career Development Center Workshop: Public Speak ing Masterclass: How to Rock the Podium and Give a Fantastic Talk 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm, Room 108B In this session, you will learn from a professional speaker how to deliver a fantastic talk every single time. Whether you are giving a poster, job talk, a speech for a colloquium, journal club or virtual endeavor, an everything in between, you will emerge with knowledge about the techniques of how to construct stories, utilize verbal and body language effectively, explain and reduce jargon, and create connections with your audience. You will emerge more confident and excited to rock your next talk! Public Affairs Committee Meeting 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm, Room 106AB
