Dear Scientific Organizing Committee of BioBrillouin 2025, Thanks for being part of this rapid response effort.. we have quite a task before us. To get started I would like to propose a first Zoom meeting ASAP to iron out some basic aspects regarding finances, invited speakers, and sponsors. Please fill out the following the doodle poll at your earliest convenience (ideally by start of coming week – the first possible dates start coming Monday): https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/boXoZ0kd Have a nice weekend & talk soon! Kareem PS. I created this mailing list SOC25@biobrillouin.org, we can all post to to reach each other easily. On the mailing list are: Jochen Guck (MPI Erlangen), Stephanie Möllmert (MPI Erlangen), Robert Prevedel (EMBL, Heidelberg), Francesca Palombo (Exeter University), Michael Monaghan (Trinity College, Dublin), Thorsten Hamann (Trondheim University), and myself.
