Summer Course
In early May, the Society welcomed an excellent
cohort of students from as far away as California
and as near as Durham, NC, to UNC-Chapel
Hill for the 8th Annual Biophysical Society Sum-
mer Research Program at UNC-Chapel Hill.
The 13 students participating in the program
will face new challenges in the lab and classroom,
develop professional skills associated with gradu-
ate education, and, hopefully, have fun during
the eleven-week program. The students, pictured
at left, have matched with labs in Chemistry,
Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Physics,
Biology, Pharmacy, and Pharmacology.
Four BPS members have been elected to
become members of the National Acad-
emy of Sciences:
Reinhard Jahn (not pictured), Max Planck
Institute and Society member since 2000.
