Congratulations @trushar7.bsky.social and thank you for your service!

The President’s Symposium at #bps2026 serves to empower biophysicists to tell stories that build public confidence in science. Speakers will discuss perspectives on the crisis in US investment in science, and approaches for conveying the value of research to human health and prosperity

Help get the word out about what biophysics is and its significant scientific contributions by hosting an event during Biophysics Week, March 23-27. buff.ly/DmuF3CF

I am thrilled that @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social is hosting a Thematic Meeting in #Bucharest!! Many thanks to Ana-Nicoleta Bondar, Kalina Hristova, and Kumiko Hayashi for organizing!

The Career Development Center at #bps2026 provides a home base for attendees looking for their next position and employers seeking a new hire. Two professional career consultants provide career focused workshops and one-on-one career counseling sessions throughout the meeting buff.ly/IbBizyp

Read the full report from @alesszimm.bsky.social, project director of the AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Program: www.aaas.org/news/fy-2026...

With FY26 federal appropriations bills now signed into law, the R&D funding outlook is brighter than initially feared. Compared to the drastic cuts that were proposed in the spring, the bills show some increases, flat funding, or relatively small reductions for R&D.

Congratulations to the 2025 BPS Fellows! They are the leading minds and generous supporters who embody the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social values and advance our mission "to seek knowledge, improve the human condition, and preserve the planet for future generations." www.biophysics.org/bps-bulletin...

Demoted four times and threatened with deportation, 2023 medicine laureate Katalin Karikó's journey in science was difficult but she persevered: "You have to channel all your energy into seeking out 'What's next? What can I do?'" Watch her interview: bit.ly/3CpWWta search.app/8DoSo

I just received a 50% discount to watch my own presentation, at a conference for which I paid my own travel, lodging, and registration! Wow! Love the business model! #FASEB #IonChannels

What do you think of the CLEAR line at the airport? Is it fair for a private company to charge to swoosh people ahead of TSA screened passengers?

Academic institutions need to rethink how they’re evaluating scientists and making sure that evaluation isn’t feeding into a system that is supporting commercial publishing www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

Congratulations to all!

Congratulations, Nuria! For many years, Nuria ran the Biochemistry and Biophysics of Membranes study section at the NIH. She trained generations of reviewers and taught many of us how to write a better grant.

Congratulations, Yifan, for the Anatrace Award! Yifan’s work on the TRPV1 structure with David Julius helped launch the Resolution Revolution in cryo-EM. Not just in membrane proteins—hardly any area of biophysics today has remained untouched by the techniques Yifan pioneered.
