Encouraging the growth and strength of biophysics in Canada A Home for Canada’s [ice]Biophysicists[/ice]
The Biophysical Society of Canada (BSC) brings together researchers, trainees and educators from across the country. Membership fees fund trainee travel grants and awards, and the society’s annual meeting is a highlight of the Canadian biophysics calendar.
As the society grew, it needed a website that could do much more than share news: one that helps members join, register for meetings, nominate colleagues for awards and find collaborators. We’ve been the society’s web team for years, building and evolving the site alongside it.
The finished project
How we approached it Case Study: A Website That Grows With a [ice]Community[/ice]
Because Brenda is a biophysicist herself, we understand the society’s audience from the inside. Highlights include:
Biophysics Groups Directory
A searchable directory lets visitors browse Canadian biophysics groups by research area and by method.
Annual Meeting Pages
Each meeting gets its own pages with key dates, speakers, registration and travel information.
Awards & Nominations
From the BSC Fellow to trainee poster prizes, each award is explained with past winners and how to nominate.
Membership Made Easy
Clear membership benefits and sign-up help researchers and trainees join quickly.
Trainee Hub
A dedicated space for students and postdocs, including the trainee symposium and outreach events.
Job Board & News
Job postings, Biophysics Week events and society news keep members coming back.
Built by Scientists, for Scientists
Society websites have many audiences: established researchers, trainees, sponsors and the public. We organized the site so each group finds what they need in a click or two, and so volunteer executives can update content without help.
Over the years we’ve also designed the society’s conference programs, posters and flyers, giving the BSC a consistent look from screen to print.
