Following the close of #bps2026 in San Francisco, I visited the @calacademy.bsky.social and de Young Museum where I was amazed by the beautiful blown glass sculptures of Dale Chihuly. Also blown away by artist, Theresa Bernstein (1890-2002), and the great views from the tower at the Museum.
Congratulations to Prof. Karen Fleming @karenfleming.bsky.social of Johns Hopkins University, who is the new president of the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social. and is pictured here with me soon after taking office at #bps2026.
