and Don'ts of Poster Presentation
Becoming a Biophysicist Although it is possible to study biophysics at the undergraduate level at some colleges and universities, such opportunities are limited. Biophysics is typically studied at the graduate level (visit our Educational Opportunities in Biophysics page for a list of graduate programs in biophysics.) Preparation for graduate school thus involves choosing a major, such as physics, chemistry, or perhaps even mathematics or computer science, that is of interest and provides appropriate preparation for graduate study in biophysics. For more information about how to prepare for a career in biophysics, download our handy guide.
Biophysicists in Profile Each
issue of the bimonthly newsletter of the Biophysical Society features a
short biography of an active member of the Society. This feature, called
Biophysicists in Profile, provides valuable insight into the different
personal and professional motives that have led people to careers in biophysics.
Read some of these stories to find out more about the human side of biophysics.
