BIOPHYSICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER

JANUARY

2016

Welcome New Editorial

Board Members

As mentioned above, BJ prides itself on the dedi-

cation of its editors to assure the fair and rapid

handling of submitted papers. Editors are all work-

ing scientists who volunteer their time to maintain

the quality of BJ for the biophysics community.

They are charged with seeking qualified reviewers

and making editorial decisions based on their own

judgments, as informed by the reviews. Editorial

Board members serve three-year terms and the

terms are staggered. We have already welcomed

the new members of Section I, above. Here, I am

pleased to welcome the other newly appointed

members of Editorial Board class of 2018 and

thank them very much for agreeing to serve.

A full roster of the current Editorial Board, new

and continuing, is available through the BJ

website.

Paper of the Year Award

Congratulations to

Jochen Hub

of the Institute for

Microbiology and Genetics, Georg-August-University,

Göttingen, Germany, and winner of the 2015

Biophysi-

cal Journal

Paper of the Year Award. His paper,

Inter-

pretation of Solution X-Ray Scattering by Explicit Solvent

Molecular Dynamics

was coauthored with

Po-chia Chen

and was published in Volume 108 (10) (May 19, 2015)

of

Biophysical Journal.

The Paper of the Year Award was established to recognize one outstanding

paper by a corresponding author who is also a young investigator. Papers are

nominated for the award by the Associate Editors of the Journal. Upon learn-

ing of the award, Hub responded, “This is a surprise; I am very very hon-

ored.” Hub will receive his award and give a short talk at the Awards Sympo-

sium during the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting.
