This Editorial (Vol. 15 Issue 2-Regular Issue) first announces the winner of the 2023 Michèle Auger Award for Young Scientists' Independent Research before then going on to describe the contents of the current Issue. The Editorial closes with a discussion of the pros and cons of writing in the formulation of scientific ideas.Each year, the Biophysical Reviews journal runs a single competition known as the "Michèle Auger Award for Young Scientists' Independent Research". Started in 2020, the award carries out two functions that are important to the journal:(i) The annual award acts as a perpetual memorial for a much admired and well-liked former Editorial Board Member Prof. Michèle Auger (IUPAB 2018), (ii) Helps to recognize the next generation of biophysicists by providing a forum to have their work read and appreciated within the scientific community.In this section, I would like to explain some of the benefits available to those nominated for the award, the process by which this year's award was judged, and finally, to announce the winner of this year's award.
