An opportunity for the @BiophysicsColab community - get nominating!
Dear cryo-EM women scientists,
We want to honor you and your contributions at BPS 2025.
This year, the Cryo-EM subgroup will honor a mid/senior-career woman scientist as the inaugural June Almeida awardee.
June Almeida is the virologist who first discovered the coronavirus in 1967 using negative stain electron microscopy. Her story, like many women we know, is remarkable. womenshistory.org/education-…
It is in the spirit of June Almeida’s innovative research that this award is named. The awardee, in addition to receiving an honorarium, will present their research at the BPS CryoEM Subgroup Symposium. The deadline for nominations for the Almeida Award is November 1st, and details of the award and the application process can be found at (biophysics.org/Awards-Fundin…). Nomination packets should be sent to [email protected].
Questions? Contact @OliBClarke, me, @MeghnaG27 @PilarCossio2 or @10feng
♥️We sincerely hope to see you at BPS 2025 in LA to celebrate achievements and advances in cryo-EM!

Also holds true for science illustrations... especially when communicating research to the wider public.
This paper introduces a useful distinction of *cognitive* accessibility to research, beyond just physical accessibility. This is why Open Access Science needs to include open access to the data/tools that will help us make sense of science >

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announces a new Open Access policy!
The policy will:
❌ cease support for individual article publishing fees, known as APCs,
✔️ mandate the use of preprints while advocating for their review.

Bravo to @Nature for sharing these sobering data. But despite my lengthy involvement in editorial work, this woman has never been invited to review for you. Nature publishes too few papers from women researchers — that must change nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
