New eBook fromBPS! The ebook Biophysical and Chemical Properties of Collagen: Biomedical Applications has just been published as part of the BPS-IOP Series in Biophysics. The book, by John Ramshaw and Veronica Glattauer , provides an introduction to the biophysics and chemistry of colla- gen and its use as a biomedical material in the rapidly changing fields of biomedical device production, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Written by experts in the field, this text will be of interest for researchers as well as lectur- ers and students. The authors provide the reader with entry points to the broader literature, and to more recent papers, so that they can follow up and gain more detailed information on areas of particular interest. For more information about the book and the author, and to see the Table of Contents, visit: https:/ iopscience.iop.org/bookListInfo/iop-series-in-biophysical-society#series and click on the book title.

BPS-IOP eBooks are available through academic and corporate research institutions, where subscribers are able to download an electronic version of the book as part of their subscription. This model is great for students as the book collections come complete with perpetual access, are free of digital rights manage- ment, and there is no concurrent user limit, meaning researchers can access the content on whatever device they like, 24 hours a day! They are also available to purchase in both electronic and print on Amazon and other online retailers. If your institution does not have a subscription, complete the recommendation form at https:/ iopscience.iop.org/page/book-recommendation The Biophysicist NOWACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS The Biophysicist is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to highlighting and nurturing biophysics education, and its scholarship and development. This new, open access journal is accepting original manuscripts from the international science community and invites submissions from scientists and educators in biophysics and related disciplines. The articles focus on fundamental concepts and techniques used in biophysics education, as well as evidence-based pedagogical practice, accessible to individu- als at all levels. This journal serves undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students and trainees, active researchers, and scholars of bio- physics teaching and learning. Public outreach and K-12 education are also within the purview of this publication. Accepted articles will be published at no charge if submitted prior to January 1, 2020. Research Articles are invited in the following categories: • Novel Learning and Teaching Approaches Reports are invited in the following areas: • Biophysics and Related Disciplines • Biophysics in Society

• Laboratory and Computational Teaching Tools • Research-based Studies of Student Learning • Biophysics Learning Perspectives • Adapted Research Articles

• Student Forum • Book Reviews
