No Abstract 5:20 pm DYNAMIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE MICROTUBULE CYTOSKELETON: UN- DERSTANDING BY BUILDING. Marija Zanic Membrane Transport Subgroup Business Meeting 5:40 pm - 6:15 pm Subgroup Chair Ming Zhou, Baylor College of Medicine, US Undergraduate Mixer and Poster Award Competition 3:00 pm-5:00 pm If you're an undergraduate student, plan on attending this virtual social and scientific event! Come meet other undergraduates and learn about their research projects. For undergraduate students who will be present- ing during the standard scientific sessions, the event provides an opportu- nity to hone presentation skills before the general poster session begins. 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 sec- ond author on a poster may participate and be recognized for their work. Selected students will receive a $100 award and recognized by the BPS meeting attendees prior to the 2021 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 over- all presentation for the poster. Pre-registration was required to participate in the competition.
