models for biological processes, and DNA replication! There will be invited talks by Megan Valentine , University of Califor- nia-Santa Barbara, USA; Christine Jacobs-Wagner , Yale School of Medicine, USA; Rob Phillips , Caltech, USA; and Antoine van Oijen , University of Wollongong, Australia. These will be complemented by talks selected from the abstracts, and a networking reception will follow. Every BPS member is welcome to attend the symposium. We do, however, ask that if you are motivated by understanding cellular and sub-cellular processes from the perspective of biophysicists, please show your support by registering as a member of the Subgroup. Your membership fees will allow us to cover the cost of the annual Subgroup symposium and the

fun social event that follows. Your commitment and contin- uous support are crucial to the success of the Subgroup and the scientific community. Visit https:/www.biophysics.org/ subgroups/cell-biophysics. We look forward to seeing you in 2020!
