Dear DBIO members,
Abstract submission for the Joint March and April Meeting: APS Global Physics Summit (March 16-21 in Anaheim, CA) is open. The volunteer session leaders and the program committee have assembled an exciting set of topics and invited speakers for the meeting.
Please consider submitting an abstract to one of our DBIO sponsored Focus Sessions or our DBIO standard sorting categories. The deadline for submitting an abstract is on October 25, 2024!
Please visit the abstract submission site to submit your abstract.
The Focus Session list is here (under 4. Biological Physics for DBIO).
We will have a large and vibrant poster session with prizes sponsored by PRX Life. So you can also consider submitting your abstract as a poster if that is suitable.
Listed below are the focus sessions for which DBIO is the primary sponsor. During abstract submission, please make sure to select DBIO as the APS unit. Next, you will be directed to choose a sub-category. Sessions numbered 04.01.xx are focus sessions, which feature invited and contributed talks. We encourage you to select a focus session that closely aligns with your abstract topic.
