JULY

Science Fairs For the seventh consecutive year, the Biophysical Soci- ety’s science fair program has given awards to students with outstanding biophysics related projects, as deter- mined by local Society members who volunteered as judges at the events. In 2015, the Biophysics Award was given to 27 students in 13 states. The science fair initiative, sponsored by the Public Affairs Commit- tee, encourages the teaching and learning of STEM subjects, as well as raises interest in and awareness of biophysics among high school students and teachers. The Biophysical Society would like to thank the Soci- ety members who volunteered to judge at their local science fairs this year! If you are interested in having BPS sponsor an award at your regional or state
