After two long years years since the last in person event, the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting took place in San Francisco, where over 3,300 attendees gathered to get reacquainted, make new connections, and share their science.
The meeting kicked off with 18 Saturday Subgroup Symposia followed by 4 days of 23 symposia, 4 workshops, and over 60 platforms highlighting the latest research topics and biophysical techniques.
Frances Arnold, California Institute of Technology, delivered her presentation, “Innovation by Evolution: Bringing New Chemistry to Life,” at the BPS Lecture on Monday, February 22.
Attendees had more than 19 career-education-related sessions for all career levels to choose from throughout the meeting.
More than 600 posters were presented each afternoon in the Exhibit Hall and spanned the interdisciplinary field of biophysics. Another 500 oral platform presentations were selected from among submitted abstracts.
Congratulations to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners of the Biophysical Society Art of Science Image Contest. The Society received more than 32 submissions and the 10 finalists were displayed at the Annual Meeting, where attendees voted for their top two images. The Image Contest was sponsored by Chroma Technology. Visit the BPS website for descriptions of the winning images: www.biophysics.org.
Attendees visited exhibitors, viewed product demonstrations, saw the latest lab equipment and scientific publications, explored new
technologies, and attended exhibitor presentations.
