Thrilled to see multi-year work distilled in 5 figs! NEW ketamine site on NMDA receptors with unique properties: 1) nanoM potency 2) distinct from the pore site 3) preference for R(+)-KET 4) lateral membrane access 5 ) acts only on desensitized receptors

RT @aaas: 👀 in @nytimes: AAAS CEO @sudipsparikh discusses the latest results on the 2024 trust in scientists survey released by @pewresearc…

Ellen @goldbaumkolin tells of our exciting discovery in plain language!! Thank you, Ellen!! UB research reveals how low-dose ketamine, a ‘lifesaving’ drug for major depression, can alleviate symptoms within hours

@BiophysicalSoc wants to better serve you as we continue to adapt to the everchanging landscape of scientific discovery. Please add your voice by responding to our survey! Know you ARE making a difference.

I hear you. First, let me assure you that @BiophysicalSoc is as lean and possible. For the past several years, Council has voted to dip into reserve to make sure that engagement remains affordable and we maintain and even add benefits to members despite increasing costs for.... everything. Second, please let me know your thoughts as to how we can help you and others in your situation attend and engage with events.

Thank you, @hholdenthorp, for your call to action! Indeed, we have to be creative, atuned, and proactive to "lay out how science can be successful under" any president. @aaas @BiophysicalSoc @SfNtweets @APSphysics

President's Message Did you know that... as a BPS member you can engage with the Society year-round. To select those activities where your time investment is returned with the most satisfaction, start by consulting the “Get Involved” page on the BPS website (, peruse the monthly BPS Bulletin (, follow @BiophysicalSoc on social media, or DM me. We are happy to hear from you!!

President's Message @BiophysicalSoc helps forge interpersonal connections that glue members together into an 'organism' that is more powerful than any of its parts. Together we use science to "seek knowledge, improve the human condition, and preserve the planet for future generations"

I am eager to read this book! Learning to broadcast an authentic balance between "competent and warm" is a worthwhile goal. But is the workplace ready to appreciate a likable badass... if she identifies as female?

"The letter highlights multiple cases where papers have passed peer review despite containing glaring issues, from irrelevant references and ‘tortured phrases’ to nonsensical figures."

In the October Bulletin of the @BiophysicalSoc, I address the value of recognizing in real time the giants on whose shoulders science will thrive tomorrow: our awardees! They define excellence and embody our values. President's Message

The Biophysical Society Is Searching for a Social Media Contributor Expand your knowledge and your network by broadcasting exciting new science coming from @BiophysJ and @BiophysReports. Early career scientists (including trainees) who commit to ~5 tweets/mo and 4 blogs/year will be rewarded with a small stipend.
