Subgroups

with a statement regarding the significance of the work and why you should be selected to present a talk (350 word limit). The deadline to apply is January 5, 2018. To be eligible: You must be a postdoctoral re- searcher at the time of abstract submission. Society rules preclude speakers from talking in multiple sessions, so speakers already programmed in a platform session are not eligible. Please include with your application the name and email of your mentor so your eligibility may be confirmed. The abstracts will be reviewed by the symposium chairs and the IDP Subgroup Council. The symposium provides an excellent venue to showcase the work of young scientists so if you are a postdoc we encourage you to apply, or if you know of postdocs working on IDPs, please share this announcement!

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Postdoctoral Research Awards

The Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Subgroup is happy to offer two Postdoctoral Research Awards at the 2018 Biophysical Society Meeting. Postdoctoral researchers working on intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are encouraged to apply for Postdoctoral Research Awards, which will include an honorarium and an opportunity to present a 20-minute talk in the 2018 IDP Sub- group Symposium in San Francisco. To apply: Please send (to IDPsubgroup@gmail. com) your submitted regular or late-breaking ab- stract and its BPS abstract control number, along

On the Move Carmen Domene moved from a position as a Reader in Computational Chemistry and Biophysics in the Department of Chemistry at King's College London and is now a Professor in Computational Chemistry and Biophysics in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath. Have you changed positions recently or know of a BPS member who has? Send news of your move to ccurry@biophysics.org.

To give the gift of BPS membership, visit: biophysics.org/giftmembership.

Once the application and payment are processed, a letter will be sent to your recipients, letting them know that they’ve received the membership gift from you.
