Plastic pollution is accumulating worldwide, on land and in the oceans. According to one widely cited estimate, by 2025, 100 million to 250 million metric tons of plastic waste could enter the ocean each year.

The EFB has brought together scientists who are looking for effective methods to curb it.

Curated content on synthetic biology from the Biochemical Society and Portland Press

Synthetic biology is a rapidly developing and interdisciplinary field. Bringing together knowledge from biochemistry and biology, chemistry and physics, engineering and computer science, synthetic biology aims to redesign ­– or ultimately create – biological entities and their inner workings, opening the door to new technologies and applications.

This collection from across the Biochemical Society and Portland Press brings together content and activities on the subject of synthetic biology that we hope will spark dialogue and discussion on this fascinating subject.

The Microbiology Society is delighted to announce that our sound science journal, Access Microbiology, has been re-launched as an innovative open research platform and is now open for submissions.
To ensure full transparency, the new platform turns the entire peer review process inside out. This includes posting the reviewer reports, Editor decision and comments, and author responses to reviewers alongside all article versions as preprints.
During the first year of launch, authors can submit and publish for free, so we encourage early submission to take advantage of this.
Find out how the platform offers a new service to our community.
