NewBPS Lecture ProgramAnnounced At their spring meeting, the BPS Council approved a new named lecture program for non-BPS organized meetings. The first Biophysical Society-Sponsored Lecture will debut at the Joint 12th EBSA (European Biophysical Societies Association) and 10th ICBP (International Conference on Biological Physics)-IUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics) Biophysics Congress, July 20-24, 2019, in Madrid Spain. Eva Nogales will deliver the first BPS-sponsored lecture. This new program allows organizers of large international meetings to seek support for a plenary or keynote speaker who is a Biophysical Society member. Applications will be accepted twice each year and will be evaluated by a BPS committee.
