Biophysicists Take Over Baltimore

New Biological Frontiers Illuminated by Molecular Sensors and Actuators June 28–July 1, 2015 Taipei, Taiwan April 6 Early Registration

Scientists from around the world descended on Baltimore, Maryland, last month to learn about the latest research in biophysics and share their most recent findings at the Society’s 59th Annual Meeting. The Baltimore Convention Center was buzzing during the five-day meeting; the sessions were well-attended and the common areas were filled with attendees meeting with col- leagues from across the globe that they only see once a year. In addition to the scientific program, attendees had the op- portunity to explore other areas of interest to the working scientist: career advancement, teaching, techniques, science policy, and funding.
