DID YOU KNOW

Join us for Subgroup Symposia The Biophysical Society has 16 Subgroups, small, topic-specific communities that hold symposia during the Annual Meeting. The 2021 Subgroup symposia will take place on Monday, February 22, 2021, with morning and afternoon programs allowing you to attend multiple sessions. Several Subgroup programs are announced in this issue of the Bulletin and more will be an- nounced in November. Check out the Subgroups below. Monday Morning Symposia Monday Afternoon Symposia Bioenergetics, Mitochondria and Metabolism Bioengineering Biopolymers in vivo Biological Fluorescence Channels, Receptors and Transporters Cryo-EM Mechanobiology Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Membrane Fussion, Fission and Traffic Macromolecular Machines and Assemblies Nanoscale Approaches to Biology Membrane Structure and Function Physical Cell Biology Membrane Transport Multiscale Genome Organization Motility and Cytoskeleton Call for Future of Biophysics SymposiumSpeakers Do you know a young researcher doing cutting-edge research at the interface of the physical and life sciences? The Biophysical Society is seeking nominations from Society members for speakers to be featured in the special Future of Biophysics Symposium during the 65th Annual Meeting. This prestigious symposium highlights the work of young investigators doing cutting-edge research at the interface of the physical and life sciences. Young investigators are defined as those who are transitioning from graduate and postdoctoral work through three or four years of faculty positions. If you have a colleague who may be suitable for a nomination or you would like to nominate yourself, visit https:/www.surveymonkey.com/r/LDWQWGG and complete the required information fields by October 19, 2020. All nominators will be notified in November 2020 of the final selections.

I found the Biophysical Society committed with giving opportunities to young people to participate and exchange ideas and projects. It is also particularly unique in promoting the encounter of young and experienced scientists, which at the end inspire and consolidate vocations. - Jesus Perez-Gil, Complutense University of Madrid
