Reminder to submit your talk 🎙️ abstracts (iop.eventsair.com/pol2025/) for Physics of Life 2025 by the end of this week!
Join the UK’s largest Physics of Life conference, uniting physics & biology. Engage in keynote talks, dynamic sessions, networking and more!
#PhysicsOfLife #Biophysics #Science
Abstract deadline for #physicsoflife2025 now extended to Sun 15th Dec
Last #physicsoflife meeting in 2023 was great success as unique conference at interface between physics & biology.
Abstracts don't need to have direct link to physics, but want dialogue between fields.
