Upcoming 2018 Networking Events

Since 2011, Society members have hosted networking events to bring together local scientists to discuss various topics in biophysics and to have a chance to get together. These events promote interactions between members and non-members interested in biophysics and the Society. Congratulations to the selected networking events from the most recent call for sub- missions. New and renewing networking event mini-grant recipients are: Jeopardy & Pizza
