This pix from the innaugural iGluRetreat, hosted in 2013 by Linda Nowak and Robert Oswald at Cornell University ha has done wonders for the field! Can you spot in it a trainee who now has trainees of their own? #iGluRetreat2026! #science #biophysics #IonChannels #iGluRs #NMDA
The scientific sessions at the iGluRetreat 2026 begin tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to deep discussions about glutamate receptor mechanisms. However, tonight we gather as a community! To meet old friends and make new ones. #iGluRetreat2026! #science #biophysics #IonChannels #iGluRs #NMDA
Waiting to board a flight to Atlanta to attend the iGluRetreat! A grass roots meeting in its... 11th rendition (by my counting). Hosted this year by Hongjie Yuan and Steve Traynelis @emory ! #iGluRetreat2026! #science #biophysics #IonChannels #iGluRs #NMDA

Today is the last day of #BPS2026! We loved celebrating the accomplishments of our community. Starting with our inaugural #BIBPS Travel Awardees, Emmanuel Osei and Skylar Grimsley, to the outstanding science shared at the #BlackInBiophysics Symposium. Congratulations to all! 👏🏾
Thank you to all #bps2026 Sponsors and Industry Partners! We are extremely grateful for your support!
Congratulations to Prof. Karen Fleming @karenfleming.bsky.social of Johns Hopkins University, who is the new president of the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social. and is pictured here with me soon after taking office at #bps2026.
Did you know that @ninds is developing an RM1 funding mechanism to support team science focused on a single goal? Just learned about it in the "Inside NIH" session organized by the Advocacy Committee at #BPS2026. Coming soon at #nih. #Biophysics #neuroscience #ionchannels
Celebrating a full year of dedication to the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social, with gratitude for Madam President Lynn Marie Thompson and CEO Jennifer Pesanelli, at the #BPS2026 Awards Dinner! Thank you!
Former presidents of the Biophysical Society @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social align with current president and executive officer and then with incoming president at #bps2026 in San Francisco.
Day 3 of the #BPS2026! I get to meet my Bluesky buddy @andrewfeig.bsky.social, who is here spreading the word about opportunities for funding from @rescorp.org! Life is good.
Tune in now as we speak with @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social President Lynmarie Thompson, @umassamherst.bsky.social, about the role the Society plays in connecting researchers across disciplines & supporting scientists at every career stage. #bps2026 youtu.be/NrKTEerXiYQ
