Upcoming Webinars See Biology as it Really Happens – Launch of a Powerful Magnetic Force Spectroscopy System to Enable Real-Time Study of the Dynamics of Individual Molecular Interactions at Massive Scale Wednesday, October 9, 2024, 12:00 PM Eastern Time

Depixus MAGNA One—the world’s first high-scale magnetic force spectroscopy platform— provides powerful new insights into how biomolecules interact. The technology opens the door to analyzing large numbers of individual interactions in parallel, revealing valuable detail otherwise invisible to bulk measurement techniques. In this webinar, part of the MAGNA One’s commercial launch, Depixus’ CEO, Gordon Hamilton , will highlight this exciting new instrument system and its applications spanning fundamental research to drug discovery.

Money! It plays such an integral role in our lives today, but is often a source of stress and anxiety. Part of the challenge is we are taught not to discuss money or that money should be a secondary priority. What if we had a way to feel empowered when thinking about money, es pecially as it relates to our careers? If we consider money as a tool that we can control, rather than something that controls us, it can become a powerful mechanism to provide us with the financial freedom to build the career and life we want. It all starts with knowing your worth and knowing you can champion yourself. In this webinar, Professional Speaker and STEM Career

Coach Alaina G. Levine will engage in a frank conversation about money and power. We will address how to look at money as a tool, how to establish your worth, and how to approach money as it relates to career advancement, job searches, and salary negotiation. We will provide a framework for you to get started today to achieve your professional and financial goals, and most importantly, to use money as a way to create Your Unicorn Career: the customized, authentic career that brings you joy, meaning... and money! BPS Physical Cell Biology Subgroup Virtual Symposium 2024 October 25, 2024, 11:00 AM–3:00 PM Eastern Time The Physical Cell Biology Subgroup is hosting a virtual mini-symposium aimed at connecting early career researchers who apply physical principles to gain a deeper mechanistic under standing of cell biology at different spatiotemporal scales. This symposium will showcase presentations by young researchers who are utilizing theory, computation, and experiments to investigate the structure, dynamics, and interactions of cells in physiological contexts. The objective is to encourage collaborative interactions between theoretical and experimental approaches in order to advance the field. The talks are based on abstracts submitted for the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in February 2024 that were not chosen for oral presen tation but that carry the promise of creativity and vigor in applying physical principles to gain deeper mechanistic insights into cell biology. This event is part of the Physical Cell Biology Subgroup’s initiative to promote visibility, breadth, and networking opportunities for young researchers in this field.
