In September 2007, a Biochemical Society delegation comprising Professor George Banting (then the Chair of the Biochemical Journal Editorial Board), Professor Peter Shepherd (then the incoming Chair of the Biochemical Journal Editorial Board) and senior Biochemical Society staff visited institutions in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Hong Kong to raise awareness of the Society and its publishing portfolio in China [see The Biochemist, Vol. 29 (December), pp. 24–28]. The relationships established on this trip were further strengthened at the 21st IUBMB and 12th FAOBMB Meeting in Shanghai in August 2009, where a Biochemical Society/Portland Press stand to promote our membership and publishing activities attracted interest from many delegates. These initial steps into China have now reaped rewards with two major initiatives coming to fruition this year.

The Biochemical Society and Portland Press have a strong history in recent years of fostering collaborative initiatives in China. In September 2007, a delegation comprising Professor George Banting (the then outgoing Chair of the Biochemical Journal Editorial Board), Professor Peter Shepherd (the then incoming Chair) and key staff visited institutions in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Hong Kong to raise awareness of the Society and its publishing portfolio in China. The relationships established during this initial trip were further strengthened over the following 2 years and subsequently led, in May 2011, to the opening of an Editorial Office for the Biochemical Journal at the prestigious Institute of Biophysics (IBP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing under the direction of Professor Tao Xu, Vice Chair Asia-Pacific [see The Biochemist volume 33, no. 5 (October 2011), pp. 30–35].

To Receive

Bristol University's Department of Biochemistry has won a prestigious silver SWAN (Scientific Women's Academic Network) award for excellence in recruiting and encouraging women in SET (science, engineering and technology). It is the first biochemistry department in the country to receive the honour. The department has increased the number of female academic staff and significantly increased the number of women applying for, and securing, promotion. Bristol University won a bronze SWAN award last year. Head of Department and Chair of the Biochemical Journal Editorial Board Professor George Banting said: “The department appreciates this external recognition of what it considers to be ongoing good practice within the Department of Biochemistry. The Royal Society's Athena organization is an august body and we are proud to be the first biochemistry department in the country, and the first department in the University of Bristol, to receive a silver SWAN award.” The Biochemist asked him to tell us more.

Future Direction

For the past 18 months the NASPA Journal Editorial Board has been engaged in an ongoing conversation about the future direction of the Journal. Among the issues we have discussed are: What should comprise the content of the Journal?, How do we decide when or if we will move the Journal to an electronic format?, What do our members want in the Journal?, and What type of scholarship should we be publishing? The last question — What type of scholarship should we be publishing? — led to an energetic conversation within the Editorial Board.
