Volunteer At Your Local Science Fair!
BPS has sponsored student awards at regional and state science fairs since
2009. So far for 2017, we plan to sponsor awards at over 40 fairs in 19 states
across the US. These fairs will need judges! This is an excellent opportunity
to make students aware of the field of biophysics and for them to meet and
interact with practicing scientists.

judge, visit
