I recall talking to a coworker, in 2003, about how insane it was that the U.S. was starting a war with Iraq for flimsy reasons. Their response was βwell, gas prices will be lower.β
It is sadly true that gas prices are the primary way Americans think about the consequences of war in the Middle East.
This is not a circumhorizontal arc. This is some AI BS.
These pictures donβt show the people they claim to represent. What the hell is this? Why has this been created? What purpose does this fake poster serve? Isnβt there enough real material for to draw from?
Indeed. Sometimes reviewers are just infuriatingly cryptic. I donβt know how to address concerns that are impossible to understand.

The latest BPS Bulletin contains a beautiful obituary of Michael Saxton, who passed away in July 2025. Many thanks to Ingela Parmryd, Thomas Jue, and Anne Kenworthy for sharing their memories of Mike. He was a true fixture at all BPS meetings I remember, and he will be missed!
Youβll do great! Iβm rooting for your success and for an amazing 2027 meeting in Philly!

Of course, I am over the moon with happiness that @veatchlab.bsky.social won the 2026 Agnes Pockels Award from the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social. Moreover, TWO students in Sarah's lab won poster awards at the BPS Meeting! What a year for the Veatch Lab! #bps2026

To honor your amazing mom, I'll read this not just as an encouragement for other young girls to follow into her bold footsteps, but as an admonition to privileged male professors to be the support that talented underrepresented minorities need to shine and be recognized.

He gave a wonderful award lecture. A great conclusion of our Subgroup Saturday Symposium! π§ͺ
BPS Subgroup Saturday is about to start, and Iβll be chairing the Membrane Structure and Function Symposium. Wish me luck! This is always a highlight of the BPS meeting, and Iβm very much feeling the weight on my shoulders!

I am confused. I thought that ΞΆ(s) is *equal* to that product. Or is this a subtle matter of βdomain of convergenceβ or βanalytic continuationβ?
