Get Out of The Lab: Volunteer At Your Local Science Fair!

Interested in giving a Biophysics Award to a student at your local high school? The Biophysical Society can use your help!

BPS has sponsored student awards at regional and state science fairs since 2010. This growing initiative, sponsored by the Public Affairs Committee, promotes the teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering, and math in US schools, and raises awareness about biophysics at the high school level.

In 2012, the Biophysical Society will be giving out the Biophysics Award for the best biophysics-related project at the fairs listed below. If you are interested in volunteering as a judge for this award at one of these science fairs, please contact the Society Office at scifairs@biophysics.org.
