We are very happy that finally, after a global pandemic, we could participate at an international meeting. The 66th annual American Biophysical Society Meeting held in San Francisco was a complete success. It was a perfect place to meet other researchers, get up to date with the latest developments in the field, and present our science. CavX community had an astounding presence with 8 graduate students from 4 CavX labs and 3 PIs. See you next year again!
