Biophysical reviews' "Meet the Councillor Series": a brief profile of David J. Crossman.

I am the New Zealand representative on the IUPAB council. I have research interest in the biophysics of calcium release in the cardiac myocyte and use advance fluorescence microscopy, particularly super-resolution methods to characterise the subcellular remodelling that occurs in the failing heart. However, my career started in the marine biology field, which highlights the circuitous pathways that science can take. In the new council, I am responsible for Social Networks and Scientific Dissemination and look forward to increasing engagement across the diversity that is biophysics.
