[3dem] Elections for Biophysical Society Cryo-EM Subgroup

[Michael Cianfrocco]

Dear cryo-EM community,

Elections are open for leadership in the Cryo-EM Subgroup as a part of the
Biophysical Society. Please consider nominating yourself or others for the
positions. As a part of the sub-group, you get to organize a half-day
subgroup meeting through invited speakers or poster presentations. The
sub-group has been a part of BPS since 2017 and offers a great venue to
reach large audiences of structural biologists.

I will put the information at the end of this email regarding the
positions.

*Additional note:* please consider attending BPS 2024 Cryo-EM Subgroup! We
have a great program and will have a social hour afterward!
