BIOPHYSICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER 10 JULY 2016
Science Fairs
For the eighth consecutive year, the Biophysical Society’s science fair program has given awards to
students with outstanding biophysics-related projects, as determined by local Society members who
volunteered as judges at the events. In 2016, the Biophysics Award was given to 36 students across the
United States. The science fair initiative, sponsored by the Public Affairs Committee, encourages the
teaching and learning of STEM subjects, as well as raises interest in and awareness of biophysics among
high school students and teachers.

Dear Biophysical Society,
As the recipient of the Biophysical Society Award, I would like to thank you for sponsoring this
award. Science is what I love and I have participated in science fairs since I was ten years old.
Now as a senior, I am looking forward to taking everything I have learned during my years in
science fairs and applying it at the collegiate level. The support you provide is immeasurable for
scientists, like myself, who are moving forward with our research and passion. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kelsey Lindbloom
