Solar observation from the roof of Olin at Wake Physics! Using new imaging equipment, students are able to directly observe and analyze solar activityz This addition expands opportunities for hands-on learning while supporting broader engagement with the community.
Wake Physics PhD student Pablo presented yesterday, one of 15 Wake Physics APS presentations at the 2026 APS global Summit #aps2026
Does time fly! Sajant (2018 BS Physics and CS major) is coming back as Dr. Anand to talk on Quantum Computing on Monday!
Looks to be an interesting talk on Exoplanets tomorrow! Stop by if interested in Olin.

Say hi if you are there! 1/5
JBSD is contributing $1,000 to sponsor up to 4 awards for talks/posters by undergrads, grad students, and postdocs at the 2nd NextGen Conversations in Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics at LA Tech!
Abstracts: lnkd.in/eDAs8x6P
Registeration: lnkd.in/efWcvZPC
Registration: $100 with dorms & meals.
Hopefully coming back from #BPS2026 today; pending flight delays!. Saw lots of cool talks & posters on protein dynamics, & AI in protein structure & dynamics. Lots of tools to play with for my own research + people to check out and possibly invite for NextGen talks and/or JBSD articles.
After 30 years, version 2 of VMD :) kicking off the last morning session at #bps2026
Been looking forward to this workshop: structural biology in the age of artificial intelligence #bps2026
JBSD and NextGen conversations materials at the literature table to pick up! #bps2026
Wake Forest University Physics has five posters tomorrow afternoon ( Sunday 1:45-3:45) at the Biophysical Society’s annual meeting from the Cho, Guthold, and Salsbury groups!
JBSD Editoral board member and co-organizer of the NextGen conversations, Kelly Thayer will kick off the main meeting #bps2026
And micro electron diffraction too
The first talk of Macromolecular assemblies looks fun. Using all the different experimental methods of structural biology — x-ray, NMR and cryoEM. #BPS2006
Ready for #BPS2026
Postcards for the NextGen conversations in Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics right at registration !
Congrats to Katie Koch for receiving a DOE Science Graduate Student Research Award. She will be researching, “Utilizing THz Spectroscopy to Visualize Exciton Formation in Chiral Hybrid 2D Perovskites,” at the National Lab of the Rockies (NLR) with Matthew C. Beard, Senior Research Fellow at NLR.
Our Special Collection on GAI in Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics has its first article! We will be accepting submissions for at least all of 2026, so submit away!
lnkd.in/eU3tvWRZ To submit, use our regular submission site ( lnkd.in/e6PDTU97) and indicate the collection in the cover letter. #jbsd
⏰ Jan 8th deadline: Wake Forest Physics PhD applications close soon.
David Carroll's group is recruiting—they're building quantum computers using topologically stabilized qubits. Fundamental physics meets next-gen hardware—links in first comment.
