At our Annual Meeting, BPS aims to foster an inclusive diversity of science and scientists, with the goal of enhancing the quality and impact of research by leveraging the full spectrum of expertise and perspectives. As part of this goal, we are taking the opportunity to honor Black History Month by highlighting the many important contributions of Black biophysicists. The Black in Biophysics Symposium features four rising stars selected across disciplines and career stages to attract a broad, interdisciplinary audience from across our Society. We invite all attendees to learn about exciting new developments in biophysics and celebrate the diversity of the biophysics community at this special symposium.
