Call for 2017 Thematic Meeting Proposals Submissions Due July 10 The Biophysical Society’s Thematic Meetings are unique and exciting because they bring together researchers who do not otherwise attend the same events, allowing for the exploration of shared topics of interest from a variety of perspectives. These meetings must be proposed and chaired by Society members; the Society provides all lo- gistical and management support. All 2015 members are eligible to submit a proposal for consideration. This is a wonderful opportunity to propose that unique meet- ing related to your work that you always wanted to attend…if it only existed! For more details on how to submit a proposal visit www.biophysics.org and click ‘Thematic Meetings.’
