Annual Meeting

Publications Sessions How to Get Your Scientific Paper Published Monday, February 17, 2:15 pm –3:45 pm

Meet the Editors Take a few minutes while you’re at the Annual Meeting to stop by the BPS Booth located in Lobby G of the convention center to meet the editors of your Society journals. Editors are happy to talk with other biophysicists about their research, publishing opportunities, the importance of Society journals, and why BPS journals might be a good fit for your work. Come by for a cup of coffee and engaging conversation. The Biophysicist Meet Editor-in-Chief Sam Safran and members of the Editorial Board. Monday, February 17, 10:15 am –11:00 am

This panel discussion, sponsored by the Publications Commit- tee, will focus on the practical issues involved in publishing a scientific paper. Panelists include Biophysical Journal editors and Publications Committee members who have extensive experience in writing, reviewing, and editing papers. They will provide general information on the dos and don’ts of submitting research manuscripts. For authors, topics encompass writing for your audience (and identifying the appropriate journal), writing the cover letter, managing reviews, and suggestions for responding to critiques and even rejection of a paper. For reviewers, topics include how to write a useful critique. Attendees are encouraged to pose questions and raise topics for discussion. Moderator: Kathleen Hall Panelists: Jason Kahn : Selecting the Right Journal for Your Paper Vasanthi Jayaraman : The Path of a Manuscript

2020 Biophysical Society Thematic Meetings

Physical and Quantitative Approaches to Overcome Antibiotic Resistance Stockholm, Sweden | August 30–September 2, 2020 Antibiotic resistance is a pressing global challenge to human health, and biophysics and bioengineering have much to offer to the global response to this challenge. This meeting will help bring together scientists working to diagnose, understand, and overcome antibiotic resistance. Engineering approaches and the biophysical methodologies of spectroscopy, single molecule and single cell microscopy, computational modeling, and development of functional assays are uniquely suited to help answer these questions. This meeting seeks to explore the interface between biophysical research and the microbiology of drug resis- tance, highlighting the breadth of work that spans these two fields and encouraging new synergies to tackle this global health problem.

Abstract Submission Deadline: May 1, 2020 Registration Deadline: May 20, 2020

Organizing Committee: Peter Kasson , University of Virginia, USA Joanna Slusky , University of Kansas, USA Georgios Sotiriou , Karolinska Institute, Sweden
