Proposed and chaired the focus session “The Structure and Dynamics of Confined Biopolymers” at the American Physical Society meeting in March 2017, “Confined wormlike chains in external fields.”

Gave the physics colloquium at UH in February 2017, “From Single Molecules to Systems Biology: a Brief Tour of Biophysics.”

Co-chaired session at the Biophysical Society Meeting in New Orleans in February 2017, “The conformations of confined polymers in an external potential.”

Regular talk at NetSciX in Tel Aviv in January 2017, “Information diffusion through inventor sharing in the worldwide innovation network.”
