  1. I2CAM/FAPERJ School on Biological PhysicsDaniel L. Cox, University of California, Davis, DMR 0645461 • Intellectual Merit • This weeklong school, held at CBPF in Rio de Janeiro, brought together 67 students (24 from the US and 43 from Brazil) to hear lectures on forefront topics in biological physics and present, over two nights, posters on their own work- • Lecture topics were: • Protein folding experiment and theory - J. Onuchic (UCSD), J. Silva, A.P. Valente (FAPERJ/CBPF) • Amyloid Matter - D. Cox (UC Davis) • Computer simulation of biomolecules - C. Clementi (Rice) • Single molecule studies - T. Ha (U. Illinois) • Models of cell motility and meiosis - A Mogilner (UC Davis) • Gene regulation networks - D. Schultz (UCSD) Eric Watkins of UC Davis, (Chemical Engineering) at a poster Students assemble for Cecilia Clementi’s (Rice) lecture Anna Paula Valente (CPBF, Rio de Janeiro) explains use of NMR for protein structure determination

  2. I2CAM/FAPERJ School on Biological PhysicsDaniel L. Cox, University of California, Davis, DMR 0645461 • Broader Impacts of the School • The school was part of a two year effort to build our international materials network in South America • American students were paired as roommates as much as possible with Brazilian ones to help build future collaborations. • Lectures were filmed and are being archived at the I2CAM web site. • The school had excellent disciplinary diversity (physics, chemistry,biology, chemical engineering, electrical engineering,bioengineering) and demographic diversity - (among lecturers and students were 33 women,46 from underrepresented ethnic groups) • After the school, participants from both hemispheres joined up on a Facebook group Please insert an image or group of images here to illustrate your broader impacts activities. If you need more space, you may reduce the adjacent textbox. Please use lettering that is clearly visible (i.e. not too small). Please include a brief figure caption. Students and lecturers gather after a day of science
