Follow us on: Twitter: @BiophysicalSoc, use hashtag #bps22 Facebook: www.facebook.com/biophysicalsociety Instagram: @biophysicalsociety Blog: www.biophysics.org/blog Social Media/Photography Policy The Biophysical Society welcomes the use of social media to share information from the 66th Biophysical Society Annual Meeting and to engage with the biophysics community. Please use the Annual Meeting hashtag #bps2022 when posting to help others follow along. We encourage you to share highlights from the meeting, suggest sessions to attend, discuss stand-out presentations and posters, and connect with your fellow biophysicists, as well as our sponsors and exhibitors. When sharing information about what you see and hear in meeting sessions, please refrain from photographing or sharing full detail of the material presented in order to respect the intellectual property of the presenters. Some presenters may request, verbally or in writing, that attendees not share information about their presentations and content; please honor those requests so that we can maintain a profes- sional, respectful environment. Presenters: If you do not wish to have your research shared via social media, please make an announcement before and during your pre- sentation. BPS strongly encourages compliance with speaker requests regarding social media sharing but cannot guarantee it. Due to the sensitive nature of data and the preliminary, unpublished research findings, all filming and recording of any kind (camera, cell phones, personal devices) in the scientific session rooms, Exhibit Hall, and poster area is strictly prohibited unless accompanied by a mem- ber of the Society staff. Any individual seen taking photographs in any session room, the Exhibit Hall, or poster area will be escorted out by security.

Sirens The City’s Outdoor Warning System is designed to alert residents and visitors of San Francisco about possible danger. Specific emergency announcements can be broadcast over any one of the 65 sirens that are located on poles and on top of buildings throughout all neighborhoods in San Francisco, Treasure Island, and Yerba Buena. They are tested at noon every Tuesday. During the weekly test, the siren emits a single 15-second alert tone, similar to an emergency vehicle siren. In the event of a disas- ter, the 15-second alert tone will sound repeatedly for 5 minutes. If you hear the siren at a time other than during its regular test on Tuesday at Noon: • Stop what you are doing • Stay calm • Listen for possible voice announcements • Turn on the radio or television (such as KCBS 740AM, KQED 88.5 FM) for important information provided by the city. • Avoid using the telephone. Do not call 911 unless you have a life threatening emergency.
