And that brings #ASB2025 to an end - so many awards! Well done to everyone who won amongst a very high standard of science throughout the week.

See you all next year in Bendigo!

Thank you Toby Allen and Ben Corry for that beautiful story, celebrating the life, work, and impact on our biophysics community that the late Shin-Ho Chung had.

Now for a special session all about ion channels! #ASB2025

Last night the Bob Robertson award was presented by Adelle Coster (UNSW), a beautiful talk integrating mathematics and biology. Well deserved!

And very special to be joined by her dad Hans Coster, a legend in the Australian biophysics community! @lisannes.bsky.social @francesbiophys.bsky.social
