Overview:
The Australian Society for Biophysics (ASB) represents researchers, academics, and others with an interest in the application of physical and physicochemical methods to the study of biological systems. The Satellite Symposium will give student and ECR members of ASB the opportunity to present, network, and develop key skills ahead of BMH2024. All ASB members are welcome to attend hubs set up in each major city and all student and ECRs who have an accepted poster presentation at BMH2024 will be eligible for inclusion in the satellite program.

We will select some of these students and ECRs to present short 15-minute talks with all remaining BMH poster-presenters invited to present a 2-minute flash talk. This is a great opportunity to make the ASB community aware of ASB research and poster topics ahead of the Congress! The day will also encourage networking both within and between hubs and will feature a workshop on conference skills.

Objectives:

• Provide ASB students and ECRs the opportunity to present their research to the wider ASB community.
• Encourage networking between ASB members, especially new students ahead of attending BMH2024.
• Develop and discuss conference and networking skills

Overview:
The Pre-Congress Workshop is aimed at Tertiary Education academics, with a particular interest in teaching and learning and more importantly in publishing their research. Publishing high-quality pedagogical research requires careful formulation of research projects, rigorous data collection and analysis. The Workshop will examine topics such as: how to formulate a pedagogical research project; how to use evidence-based and scholarly strategies; and how to develop ethically appropriate data collection instruments and analysis processes

Workshop Facilitators:
Professor Marilee Benore - University of Michigan-Dearborn and Editor-in-Chief of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education journal- BAMBEd

Associate Professor Nirma Samarawickrema (Monash University and Chair, FAOBMB Education)

The Workhop

• How to formulate a pedagogical research project
  • Utilise evidence-based and scholarly strategies to investigate educational practice;
  • Design a detailed educational investigation based on the review of the literature; and
  • Develop ethically appropriate data collection instrument/s.
• Examples of different formats and research approaches suitable for pedagogical research
• How to find collaborators for pedagogical research;
• BAMBEd and its process
  • Vision and mission
  • Expectations from potential authors
  • Review timelines and actions
  • Types of articles accepted and article requirements
  • Ensuring research resonates with readership
• Advancing professional development as a reviewer and member of the journal’s editorial board

Overview:
The one-day forum is designed specifically for PhD Students and Early Career Researchers ( < 10 years post-PhD) to assist in their career development. To attend you must be registered for the entire Biomolecular Horizons 2024 Congress (not a day registrant).

The Forum offers the following five professional development sessions led by international experts in academia, industry, and publishing:
