Solar observation from the roof of Olin at Wake Physics! Using new imaging equipment, students are able to directly observe and analyze solar activityz This addition expands opportunities for hands-on learning while supporting broader engagement with the community.

Wake Physics PhD student Pablo presented yesterday, one of 15 Wake Physics APS presentations at the 2026 APS global Summit #aps2026

Does time fly! Sajant (2018 BS Physics and CS major) is coming back as Dr. Anand to talk on Quantum Computing on Monday!

Looks to be an interesting talk on Exoplanets tomorrow! Stop by if interested in Olin.

We are hiring a postdoc in computational biophysics and machine learning studies of intrinsically disordered proteins We aim to study the function of IDPs by combining CG MD, ML and bioinformatics in collaboration with @tanjamittag.bsky.social & @rhp-lab.bsky.social tinyurl.com/REWIRE-PD

Wake Physics looks well-represented at the APS Global Summit with 15 presentations across astrophysics, biological physics, and condensed matter physics. Say hi if you are there! 1/5

JBSD is contributing $1,000 to sponsor up to 4 awards for talks/posters by undergrads, grad students, and postdocs at the 2nd NextGen Conversations in Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics at LA Tech! Abstracts: lnkd.in/eDAs8x6P Registeration: lnkd.in/efWcvZPC Registration: $100 with dorms & meals.

Hopefully coming back from #BPS2026 today; pending flight delays!. Saw lots of cool talks & posters on protein dynamics, & AI in protein structure & dynamics. Lots of tools to play with for my own research + people to check out and possibly invite for NextGen talks and/or JBSD articles.

After 30 years, version 2 of VMD :) kicking off the last morning session at #bps2026

Been looking forward to this workshop: structural biology in the age of artificial intelligence #bps2026

JBSD and NextGen conversations materials at the literature table to pick up! #bps2026

Wake Forest University Physics has five posters tomorrow afternoon ( Sunday 1:45-3:45) at the Biophysical Society’s annual meeting from the Cho, Guthold, and Salsbury groups!

JBSD Editoral board member and co-organizer of the NextGen conversations, Kelly Thayer will kick off the main meeting #bps2026

The first talk of Macromolecular assemblies looks fun. Using all the different experimental methods of structural biology — x-ray, NMR and cryoEM. #BPS2006

Ready for #BPS2026

Postcards for the NextGen conversations in Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics right at registration !

Congrats to Katie Koch for receiving a DOE Science Graduate Student Research Award. She will be researching, “Utilizing THz Spectroscopy to Visualize Exciton Formation in Chiral Hybrid 2D Perovskites,” at the National Lab of the Rockies (NLR) with Matthew C. Beard, Senior Research Fellow at NLR.

Our Special Collection on GAI in Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics has its first article! We will be accepting submissions for at least all of 2026, so submit away! lnkd.in/eU3tvWRZ To submit, use our regular submission site ( lnkd.in/e6PDTU97) and indicate the collection in the cover letter. #jbsd

⏰ Jan 8th deadline: Wake Forest Physics PhD applications close soon. David Carroll's group is recruiting—they're building quantum computers using topologically stabilized qubits. Fundamental physics meets next-gen hardware—links in first comment.

You have until Jan 8th to apply for Wake Physics PhD. One group looking for students is Timo Thonhauser's—they develop ab-initio electronic-structure methods and apply them to bio-, nano-, and energy-related materials. Computational condensed-matter physics at the frontier! 1/2

Abstract submission open for 2nd Next Gen. Conversation in Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics, Louisiana Tech, June 9–13 2026. Continuing Sarma’s Albany Conversations starting in 1979. Book of Abstracts in JBSD; EiC attending. Keynote—Remo Rohs. Submit: dna.engr.latech.edu/NextGen/

🎧 New #JBSD podcast episode! We’re featuring AI-generated audio overviews of key articles. Next up: “Unlocking Lipase: Surviving the Alcohol Gauntlet for Greener Chemistry.” Listen on Spotify 👇 open.spotify.com/show/5Y8hkFT... #AIinScience

Interesting looking talk on gravitational waves this Thursday in Olin!

All set up now for #spscon2025 ! All ready for students interested in graduate physics study in biophysics, astrophysics, materials science or quantum information sciences starting tomorrow.

I won't be able to make it but colleagues from Wake Chemistry and Physics will be presenting!

Look at this: One of our alumni coming back to talk about modeling of complex social systems.

Biomolecular structure and function from Andy Fisher at UC Davis at Wake Physics.
