Welcome to the Biophysics taskforce of
WikiProject Molecular Biology.
If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the
talkpage of WikiProject Molecular Biology, the centralized point for discussion, thank you.
Welcome to WikiProject Biophysics. Several Wikipedians, initially from the Biophysical Society, have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Biophysics and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
Biophysics can be described as a branch of science that applies techniques from physics to the study of biology. This project will primarily cover articles about subject-area results and methods in biophysics, but also general overviews, history, organizations, and people.
In 2014, WikiProject Biophysics persuaded David Goodsell and the RCSB Protein DataBank to assign a CC-BY-3.0 (now CC-BY-4.0) open license to his iconic shaded space-fill drawings of molecules in his 'Molecule of the Month' feature on the RCSB PDB web site ( >200 of them so far). In addition, a minority of the molecular landscapes have been released under open licenses. There are now categories for " Molecule of the Month" and " Molecular Landscapes" on Wikimedia Commons for the images uploaded so far - please help us add more!
From 2012 to 2014, the Biophysical Society sponsored contests for the most improved biophysics-related articles, image collections, or other contributions to Wikipedia or Commons, or other relevant progress. The Biophysics wiki-edit contest page has more details, including the winners and what they did. Up to six winners received $100, a barnstar on their talk page, and free membership and registration to the following year's Biophysical Society meeting. All entrants got a neat button to wear. There is not a current contest.
In 2015, Ben Lillie wrote in the Atlantic Monthly about one of our WikiProject Biophysics Good Articles, which happens to be a biography of Frederic Richards, his grandfather:
In 2013, WikiProject members were interviewed in The Signpost:
A list of Biophysics taskforce members (along with some of their interests) is maintained under the WikiProject Molecular Biology page. To join, simply add yourself at that page and indicate your interests.

Please feel free to list new Biophysics-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,500 characters of prose, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.
Please post this on the talk pages of biophysics-related articles.
