Biophysical Society 2020 Annual Meeting

Communicating Your Science Workshop 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, Room 28CDE Communication plays a pivotal role in society; it’s the difference between accord and argument, the key to a new research breakthrough and the pathway to sharing the value and impact that scientific discovery has on the public at large. When trying to explain the role and value that research in biophysics has on health, energy, technology and science, you must keep in mind your target audience. Be it a neighbor, a reporter or a politician, your language needs to reflect a frame of reference that they can understand and see the value as it applies to them personally. Session speaker, Amy Showalter, will help you have the ability to make biophysics and scientific research relatable to the non-scientific community. Speaker Amy Showalter, The Showalter Group Career Development Center Workshop Leveraging LinkedIn in the PhD Job Search: Networking, Informational Interviews, and More 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm, Room 26A You’ve done some exploration and identified some interesting possibili- ties as the next step after grad school or your postdoc, but is it enough to convince you that research in industry, medical science liaison, data science, etc. is right for you? More importantly, do you know enough to craft a persuasive story about why you’re a credible and compelling candidate? This presentation provides specific examples of how you build out your knowledge of a new, potential career field, and forge valuable connections that can facilitate your successful transition out of academia using LinkedIn, professional societies, informational interviews, and more. Undergraduate Mixer and Poster Award Competition 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Ballroom Foyer If you’re an undergraduate student, plan on attending this social and scientific mixer! Come meet other undergraduates and learn about their research projects. For undergraduate students who will be presenting during the standard scientific sessions, the mixer provides an opportu- nity to hone presentation skills before the general poster session begin. Undergraduates listed as co-authors on posters are welcome to practice their poster presentation skills in a less formal setting, even if not listed as the presenting author. Additionally, undergrads presenting as first or second author on a poster may participate in the Undergraduate Poster Award Competition and be recognized for their work. Selected students will receive a $100 award and will be recognized by the BPS meeting attendees prior to the 2020 Biophysical Society Lecture. Winners will be selected based on the quality and scientific merit of their research, knowledge of the research problem, contribution to the project, and overall presentation of the poster. Pre-registration was required to participate in the competition.
