Connect through Research!

Networking is one of the most effective ways to advance your career! Submitting an abstract gives you a chance to connect withmore than 5,000 researchers in biophysics from around the world. Have your poster designated as one of the nearly 600 shown each day of the meeting or be considered for one of more than 500 oral presentation slots in platform sessions. Don’t miss this opportunity to benefit from sharing your research!

Benefits to You Professional Development. Enhance your CV as a presenting author. Publications Credit. Have your accepted abstract published and included in a supple- ment to Biophysical Journal . A Visible Platform. Submitting your abstract by the October 1 deadline grants you the opportunity to be considered for one of the more than 500 oral presentation slots in plat- form sessions. Strategic Connections. Increase your visibility and leadership potential by meeting other leading experts from around the world. Make a Difference.

Did you know…. that abstracts submitted to the Biophysics Education category will also be reviewed in an appro- priate scientific abstract category for platform presentation consid- eration?

The Annual Meetings are great; for me they are a scientific highlight for the year. The quality of the science speaks for itself, but it’s all the additional aspects that make these meetings special, such as the workshops, BPS Lecture, the fun Art of Science Image Contest and of course meeting up with friends and colleagues from around the world. — Syma Khalid, University of Oxford
