Dear Presenters at BioBrillouin 2025, A couple of notes about your upcoming presentations next week (some may be repeated from previous communications) You do not need to waste time presenting/explaining what Brillouin Light Scattering is. Everyone at conference hopefully knows. We have ~35 talks and ~30 posters, so hearing same explanation that many times in three days will drive us all crazy 😊. One purpose of starting these meetings back in 2016 was exactly to avoid this extended intro stuff and get straight to finer/technical/biological points. That said, ofcourse present basic formulas you use so we all know your nomenclature, and any non-standard/trivial things. Hopefully, this will allow you to cover more in your presentations (give you a few more minutes). If you have already finished/printed posters, do not worry (it is certainly not a big deal). A reminder to all speakers, to please check in at the latest in the break before your presentations at the podium. Also please have your presentation backed up on a USB stick or on easily accessible cloud link incase there are any difficulties (ideally in powerpoint and PDF format). You can present on your own laptop (if you have HDMI output) or a by us provided laptop. Speakers in the first session of each day should please show up at 8:45 of same day and mention they will be presenting in first session at registration desk (so we can troubleshoot any issues), or else check at podium the previous day (probably easier if not the first day). If for any reason this is not possible (due to late arrival) please email your presentation to Soc25@biobrillouin.org by noon on Monday so we can be sure to have ready on a computer. Looking forward to seeing you all next week, and have a safe trip! -Kareem On behalf of the Scientific Organizing Committee: Jochen Guck - Local Conference Chair (Max Planck Inst. for the Science of Light & MPZ für Physik und Medizin, Germany) Kareem Elsayad (Medical University of Vienna, Austria) Robert Prevedel (European Molecular Biology Laboratory - EMBL, Germany) Francesca Palombo (Exeter University, United Kingdom) Stephanie Möllmert (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Germany) Michael Monaghan (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Thorsten Hamann (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway) Questions pertaining to the meeting should be addressed to: SOC25@biobrillouin.org
