BIOPHYSICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER
13
JULY
2014
In the sixth consecutive year of the Biophysical
Society’s science fairs program, the Society funded
awards for 27 students at science fairs in 14 states
and in one Canadian province. These awards are
given for outstanding biophysics-related projects,
as determined by local Society members who vol-
unteered as judges at the events, state and regional
high school science fairs. This initiative, spon-
sored by the Public Affairs Committee, encourages
the teaching and learning of STEM subjects, and
raises awareness of biophysics among high school
students and teachers.
Thank you to the Society members, listed below,
who volunteered to judge at their local science
fairs this year! Didn’t get a chance to volunteer?
