I'm a member in about 10-15 societies in the past 60 years and BPS is the best, it’s the best in the world, and it has a long, long history of very high standards of Science

I think the Biophysical Society is unique in its ability to be a rigorous forum and professional home to so many diverse research areas, all united by the basic premise of wanting to know how things work.

The BPS has helped shape and support my educational goals through wornderful programs and opportunities.

Being a member of the Society thrusts you into a network full of potential for collaborations, advocacy, and furthering ones career. The newsletter is one of my favorite periodicals! And free access to the Biophysics Journal has been great! By using both you are tapping into more of the science, getting ideas, getting a feel for what is of broad interest, learning about opportunities – such as the Congressional fellows program, seeing the work of the organization itself and seeing the faces of other members contributing to biophysics.

As students, BPS is a great setting that makes us aware of all different types of biophysical research and also is an excellent educational platform that broadens our scientific knowledge. I feel more motivated towards science and research every time I attend to BPS. I believe that BPS has contributed greatly to my professional development as well as my networking abilities.

The enormous advantage of being a part of the Biophysical Society is the broad scientific community provided by the Society. In my particular field of interest, I am not aware of any other organization with a similar number of ion channel researchers that are brought together during the Annual Meeting.

Dierk Thomas

Being a society member has been very important to me. It allows me opportunities to attend different local and international meetings that inspire me by their wonderful scientific results and ideas.

Dungeng Peng

Vanderbilt University

The Society has given me the opportunity to collaborate and publish with people that otherwise I would not have met.

Valeria Vasquez

University of Tennessee Health Science Center

The Biophysical society has been an important part of my professional development. I joined right after the biophysics summer course of 2008 and have met so many amazing people. I made lifetime friends during the course that always cheer me on no matter what crazy thing I am trying to do.
