Are you a student or are you a faculty member planning to bring your students to San Francisco? Look at the sessions planned throughout the meeting to provide undergradu- ate and graduate students with opportunities to network with faculty members and oth- er students from around the world to explore a variety of career paths after graduation. Undergraduate Poster Award Competition Saturday, February 19, 3:00 pm –5:00 pm , USA Pacific

valuable networking and social opportunity to meet other students, BPS Committee members, and scientists at all career levels to discuss academic goals and questions, and to develop a biophysics career path. Space for this event is limited to the first 100 attendees. Education and Career Opportunities Fair Sunday, February 20, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm , USA Pacific Starting to look for a postdoc position? Or maybe you’re an undergraduate thinking about grad school? Check out the Educa- tion and Career Opportunities Fair.

Find out about open postdoc positions and laboratories seeking graduate students at universities with leading programs in biophysics. Stop by the fair to learn about the variety of opportunities available and talk one-on-one with representatives from participating institutions.

Practice your presentation and communi- cation skills at the Undergraduate Poster Award Competition! If you’re an under- graduate student, plan on attending this competition. This is an exciting opportunity for you to showcase your scientific project, interact with your fellow students, and learn more about the field of biophysics. Having the chance to present in a wel- coming environment also takes away the stress of a more formal setting, before the general poster session begins. Up to six contestants will receive $100.
