After the excitement of the Nobels last week, we’d also like to extend our warmest congratulations to F1000 Members Carlos Bustamante (Genomics & Genetics) and Tamar Schlick (Structural Biology), who last week were appointed 2012 Fellows of the Biophysical Society. Fellowships are awarded based on the Fellows’ “demonstrated excellence in science, contributions to the expansion of the field of biophysics, and support of the
Biophysical Society.”
The citations read as follows:
Carlos Bustamante, University of California, Berkeley, for his impact on the field of single molecule biology through the use of atomic force microscopy and the development of magnetic tweezers and optical tweezers, which has provided a unique insight into protein and RNA folding and the operation of molecular motors.
and
Tamar Schlick, New York University, for her research developing and applying novel multidisciplinary computational and modeling techniques to relate the structure of macromolecules with their cellular functions.
Congratulations!

wow, optical and magnetic tweezers! This might have raised the interest of Frank Zappa, who cited tweezers twice:
D’you think I could interest you in a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers? (Dinah-Moe Hum)
With a pair of heavy-duty / zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand (Montana)
also molecular motors are exciting, though!
Congratulations to Carlos Bustamante! Well, also to Tamar Schlick who, however, should be gratified enough by having such a nice picture of herself posted here, while Carlos remains faceless…. and F of 1000 says that he works at Stanford, or is it Berkeley???
Bravi!!!!
