Call for 2017 Thematic Meeting Proposals
Submissions Due July 10
The Biophysical Society’s Thematic Meetings are unique
and exciting because they bring together researchers who
do not otherwise attend the same events, allowing for
the exploration of shared topics of interest from a variety
of perspectives. These meetings must be proposed and
chaired by Society members; the Society provides all lo-
gistical and management support. All 2015 members are
eligible to submit a proposal for consideration. This
is a wonderful opportunity to propose that unique meet-
ing related to your work that you always wanted to
attend…if it only existed! For more details on how to
submit a proposal visit and click
