The meeting gives me the best opportunity to catch up with the frontiers of biophysics in a broad way, from single-particle cryo-EM to single-mole- cule FRET, frommolecular dynamics to molecular evolution. Because almost everybody in biophysics attends, it is also a wonderful time to catch up with old friends and colleagues. — Da-Neng Wang , New York University School of Medicine
