Congratulations to Prof. Karen Fleming @karenfleming.bsky.social of Johns Hopkins University, who is the new president of the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social. and is pictured here with me soon after taking office at #bps2026.

Did you know that @ninds is developing an RM1 funding mechanism to support team science focused on a single goal? Just learned about it in the "Inside NIH" session organized by the Advocacy Committee at #BPS2026. Coming soon at #nih. #Biophysics #neuroscience #ionchannels

@camkos.bsky.social joined me for the last two days of #BPS2026! Always better together!

Celebrating a full year of dedication to the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social, with gratitude for Madam President Lynn Marie Thompson and CEO Jennifer Pesanelli, at the #BPS2026 Awards Dinner! Thank you!

Former presidents of the Biophysical Society @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social align with current president and executive officer and then with incoming president at #bps2026 in San Francisco.

Day 3 of the #BPS2026! I get to meet my Bluesky buddy @andrewfeig.bsky.social, who is here spreading the word about opportunities for funding from @rescorp.org! Life is good.

Tune in now as we speak with @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social President Lynmarie Thompson, @umassamherst.bsky.social, about the role the Society plays in connecting researchers across disciplines & supporting scientists at every career stage. #bps2026 youtu.be/NrKTEerXiYQ

#Research shows that we are overconfident about our ability to tell #AI faces from pictures of real people. For 100% confidence, come shake the hand of real #biophysicists at #bps2026. techxplore.com/news/2026-02... #science #biophysics #networking #realconnections techxplore.com/news/2026-02...

Ramon Latore treats the audience to an inspirational retrospective on the operation of BK Channels as the Keynote Speaker at the #BPS2026 Satellite Meeting on Drug Discovery. A fitting kickoff to a week of #science 🧪 #biophysics #ionchannel in SF!

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! #Haircells at the basal turn of the #cochlea.

Whenever I see the use of language like "rockstar of <foo>" I immediately think that somewhere in this ecosystem there are people elevating egos to improper heights. It has become a reliable warning sign.

After a safe, even if long, travel to SF yesterday, I am so looking forward to peeking into new discoveries, forging a positive future, reconnecting with brilliant minds, and making new friends. If you are at #BPS2026, come say hello, and make my day 🥰!! #science 🧪 #biophysics #ionchannel #bps2026

"Scientists are not alone in working toward increasing trust in science, we have teachers, librarians, and many others with us." Really important to remember this! @laurahelmuth.bsky.social and others sharing thoughts on public trust in science at #AAASmtg

Still stunned that Joe Rogan is considered a “trusted scientific figure” according to Jan2026 public interest polls 💀 #AAASmtg

For the first time in almost 180 years, the #AAASmtg plenary was given by graduate students! Long overdue 👏 So inspired by these young scientists in the @snapcoalition.bsky.social! Check them out: snapcoalition.org Moderated by @holdenthorp.bsky.social #AAAS2026 @aaas.org

Next up, Julie Mennella, one of the 2025 IgNobel Prizes, who will talk about her research about what a nursing baby experiences when the baby’s mom eats garlic. @aaas.org #AAASmtg pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1896276/

Next up: Paul Bosland. 1999 Ig Nobel Biology Prize winner, for breeding a spiceless jalapeno chile pepper. It is the yellow vein, not the seeds, that contains the heat! The Nu-Mex Primavera has not heat- got a lot of hate mail! #AAASmtg @aaas.org www.krwg.org/krwg-news/20...

A simple 45-nucleotide RNA molecule that is able to perfectly copy itself... Wow! 🧪🧬 doi.org/10.1126/scie...

We are treated with a Hoop Dance, by Yellowbird Production @aaas.org #AAASmtg

Not sure how widely this point from @aaas.org President Maldonado is understood. The converging top lines are spending on basic research by the US gov’t and below it, industry. They are now equal, results of a trend over the last decade. #aaasmtg

At the #AAASmeeting, Sudip Parikh & Michael Crow emphasized the need for science communication that builds trust & strengthens relationships. That’s exactly the challenge we’re tackling tomorrow in our session: “Bridging Ideological Divides About Science.” I hope you join us.

Science is discovery. Science is a method. Science is human. Science is many things — but what is science to you? We're excited to kick of the AAAS Annual Meeting today in Phoenix to discuss Science @ Scale. Stop by our membership booth while you're here to tell us what science is to you. #AAASmtg

Beautiful start to the plenary at Day 1 of #AAASmtg. Excited to make connections and talk #SciComm with others.

The badge game at the @aaas.org American Association for the Advancement of Science Annual Meeting is next level! These are among the most creative I’ve seen at a scientific meeting. 🧬 #AAASmtg

We are here for science. It’s about people—people do science. We need to better communicate our findings and what they mean to nonscientists. Our government used to invest in scientific research. We all need to advocate for science/fight for sound science policy & strong public health. #AAASmtg

45 countries represented at #AAASmtg. First-gen electrical engineer Dr. Theresa Maldonado of @uofcalifornia.bsky.social talks about leading thru disruption: “stay grounded and do your homework.”

Next up, @AAAS President Theresa Maldonado: We have people from 45 countries at this meeting! The AAAS is leading through disruption. Like repairing the Space Shuttle with a medical stapler, we need to work with the tools we have. #AAASmtg

Next: @aaas.org CEO Sudip Parikh has been blown away by students and scientists all over the US - so much energy pushing back to the past year’s measures. It is a rupture. We have to build what comes next. We have a lot of work to do. We have to protect science. #AAASmtg

A warm welcome by Joseph Francisco, the Chair of the AAAS Board of Directors, who promises a special treat. @aaas.org #AAASmtg

Fabulous #AAASmtg plenary introduction from Dr. Michael Crow, Arizona State University President, reminding us that scientific discovery does not automatically translate. The gap between scientific discovery and public understanding expands. Science requires advocates. Storytelling must disrupt. 🧪

The @aaas.org meeting is about to start! That is a big room, with lots of folks from all over the US - and some from farther away. #AAASmtg
