- Congratulations to our 2026 #BlackInBiophysics Travel Award recipients!!! 🥳 We thank #Pfizer for sponsoring trainee awards to attend the #BPS2026 Meeting and the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social for their support. 🙌🏾 We are looking forward to seeing you at the BPS Meeting in San Francisco! 🤩
- Send your abstract for the 2026 @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social Meeting in San Francisco ✨TODAY✨ to be eligible to apply for our #BlackInBiophysics Travel Award❗️❗️❗️ #BPS2026
- 🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 We have $500 travel awards to attend the #BPS2026 @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social in San Francisco! 🤩 How to apply: ➡️ Apply for the BPS Travel Award (www.biophysics.org/2026meeting/...) ➡️ Select option to be considered for the BIBPS Travel Award *Grad students and postdocs are eligible
- In our #BIBPSWeek 2025 #BIBPSSpotlight Q&A Webinar with Dr. Chrystal Starbird, we learned about her life, career, and STEM advocacy work. We also discussed the barriers that fellow #BlackInBiophysics scholars @jjalston.bsky.social & @stevenssostre.bsky.social faced when pursuing careers in science.👇🏾
- We are in this odd climate where people are pretending no barriers exist to careers in science for some groups, but this conversation with 2 outstanding emerging scientists highlights that is just not true. youtube.com/watch?v=u850...
