Experimental Biology 2009, New Orleans, 18-22 April saw the perfect opportunity for RSC Publishing to display 

its impressive bioscience journals portfolio and Biomolecular Sciences book series. Visitors to the RSC booth were able to pick up free copies of recently launched journals Integrative Biology and Metallomics, as well as the established Molecular BioSystems, Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences and Natural Product Reports. RSC staff were also available to provide online demonstrations of exciting innovations, such as enhanced HTML articles via RSC Prospect. Many visitors also entered the competition to win an iPod Touch, and the lucky winner, drawn at random from the entries is Abu-Bakr Al-Mehdi, University Of South Alabama. 

Also, at this event Integrative Biology celebrated its 2009 launch in style on 19 April with an evening reception. Guests were welcomed with refreshments and Editor, Harp Minhas, was on hand to provide details and answer questions regarding this exciting new journal. Integrative Biology is a unique journal focused on quantitative multi-scale biology using enabling technologies and tools to exploit the convergence of biology with physics, chemistry, engineering, imaging and informatics. 

'Integrative Biology is looking great - just hits the mark and all the articles are innovative, highly of interest and thought provoking.' Philip Day, University of Manchester, UK. 

For another chance to see what RSC Publishing can offer the bioscience community, visit our booth at the 34th FEBS Conference in Prague this July. We will be holding another reception, this time to celebrate Molecular BioSystems' 5th year of publishing.
