Biophysics Week, established in 2016, is an annual global initiative aimed at raising awareness about the field of biophysics. Every March, the Biophysical Society brings together members, researchers, and organizations worldwide to celebrate biophysics. The objective is to educate and cultivate public interest and backing for biophysics research on a global scale. It underscores the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration in science, particularly in biophysics, emphasizing the value of cross-border cooperation among researchers to further scientific progress.
The ninth annual Biophysics Week, held from March 18–22, was a celebration of scientific discovery and collaboration. Organized by BPS, BPS Subgroups, Student Chapters, and Affiliate Event Organizers, this exciting week brought together members from 17 countries for a dynamic mix of in-person and virtual events. These events ranged from casual trivia and chats to engaging cooking, art and science experiments, lab tours, seminars, and webinars, offering communities worldwide a chance to delve into the impact of biophysics on scientific research.
We want to thank our Affiliate Event Organizers as well as members and communities around the globe for your support and active participation. This week would not be possible without you! Throughout the event, BPS provided valuable resources such as webinars, career videos, lay summaries, profiles, lesson plans and experiments, and more, all of which remain accessible at www.biophysics.org/biophysics-week.
