The Biophysical Society is an American scientific society that exists to encourage the development and dissemination of knowledge in biophysics. Founded in 1957 by Ernest C. Pollard, the society currently consists of over 9,000 researchers in academia, government, and industry. Although based in the United States, its international membership has grown to about one third of the total.

Famous quotes containing the word society:
“The Fitchburg Railroad touches the pond about a hundred rods south of where I dwell. I usually go to the village along its causeway, and am, as it were, related to society by this link. The men on the freight trains, who go over the whole length of the road, bow to me as to an old acquaintance, they pass me so often, and apparently they take me for an employee; and so I am. I too would fain be a track-repairer somewhere in the orbit of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
