Open Access journal and reviewing potential publishing arrangements under the various business models. Council noted BJ’s critical role in financial contributions to the Society and thanked the Committee for providing the report in support of informed decision making. Jayaraman, Enderlein, and Safran provided updates from the journals including special issues and new initiatives to grow submissions. Of particular note, BJ will once again be accepting Letters, and Biophysical Reports will be emphasized as an excellent option for publishing cutting-edge methods and techniques in biophysics. Over the three sessions of Council during the Annual Meeting, there was ample discussion,

debate, and generation of ideas. There was appreciation for the normal yet an appetite for change. We are investing in the future of BPS with essential improvements in infor mation technology, exciting expansions of Annual Meeting programming, and deliberate consideration of the role of BJ. With members at the forefront, leading an innovative global community in biophysics is our priority. We welcome your engagement and invite your feedback.
