saving features such as templates for graphing and analysis, batch plotting and batch analysis will be presented. Application examples using Origin’s programming environment will also be presented. The workshop will also cover key new features and improvements in the latest version: Ease-of-use features including graph preview and comment tool tip in Project Explorer, search for string in project, search for functions in dialogs, redesigned axis dialog, enhanced legend, and custom categorical order. New graph types including Heat Map, Kernel Density Plot, Column Scatter Plot. Improvements to profile plot, box plot, contour plot, bubble scale, and color scale. New analysis tools for Distribution Fit, ANOVA of unbalanced data, t-Test on rows. Tool to append worksheets, remove or combine duplicate values, and improved pivot table. Integration of Python as scripting language in Origin. Presenter Easwar R. Iyer, VP of Technology, OriginLab Corporation 5:00 pm –6:30 pm , R oom 324/325 You have a position working in biophysics and have some funding for your work, but you have realized that the career challenges continue. Come relax and network with your contemporaries and senior biophysi- cists over a beer or glass of wine. This event is a great chance to compare notes with colleagues and discuss one-on-one your unique solutions to issues that arise in the time between getting your job and getting tenure, including management of lab staff, getting your work published, and renewing your funding. Refreshments will be provided, with cash bar. 6:00 pm –7:00 pm , R oom 327/328/329 Biophysics Austria Mixer 6:00 pm –9:00 pm , H all C Student Research Achievement Award (SRAA) Poster Competition See page 53 for list of participants. Sponsored by Biochemistry. This session features students who are presenting posters at the Meeting and have pre-registered for the competition. During the SRAA competition, students give a five-to-seven minute verbal presentation of their poster to one or more judges. Winners will be recognized on Monday evening prior to the National Lecture. 7:30 pm –9:30 pm , B allroom I Workshop Stabilizing Membrane Proteins Chair Linda Columbus, University of Virginia 209-W kshp 7:30 pm EVOLVING STABLE GPCRS FOR DRUG SCREENING AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS.
