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

On my way to #AAMC2025! Are you? If so, let's connect! @aaas.org @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social @ubuffalo.bsky.social #science #biomedscience #meded #graded

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?

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.
