Late Abstract Deadline: January 6, 2022 Do you have research findings you are ready to share but missed the early abstracts deadline? Submit a late abstract to receive valuable feedback and to be included along with the abstracts submitted by the October 1 deadline.

Did You Receive Your Programming Notice? Programming notices were sent the week of November 21 to those who submitted abstracts by the October 1 deadline. Check your email and contact the Society Office if you did not receive notification.

Abstracts Programmed Once again, we held the programming meeting virtually rather than in person. Prior to the meeting and following the regular abstract submission deadline, members of the Program Committee and Council reviewed and sorted submitted abstracts, which were programmed into 63 platforms and 105 poster sessions. Over 500 posters will be presented each day of the meeting. BPS members finalized the programming of platform and poster sessions for the 2022 Annual Meeting. Members and staff participating in this virtual meeting:

The Society would like to thank the Program Committee, Council, and members who participated in the planning, reviewing, sorting, and programming this year. Their work ensures that the final program reflects the breadth of research areas in biophysics with as few programming conflicts as possible. The 2022 Program Committee members are Elizabeth Komives , Arthur Palmer , Michelle Digman , Teresa Giraldez , Anna Moroni , and Jennifer Ross .
