Welcome
A message from the President
Dear all, I would like to welcome you
to the Society's new website, whether you are members or not. You
will see that it has changed in appearance, but it has also
improved in terms of what it can do for you.
Parts of it are still under construction, and will
be completed soon.
The next SRHSB Annual Scientific Meeting - our 54th - will be held
in Vancouver, Canada in early July 2010, and the details can be
found here, along with early announcements of other meetings as
they become available. You will be able to complete abstract forms
for submission for the Annual Scientific Meetings online, and you
can also register online for the next meeting in due course.
Reports and photographs from previous meetings are to be seen on
the site, for your interest and amusement! You can also read all
the abstracts of podium presentations and posters, including those
of invited lecturers when available, from the immediately previous
Annual Meeting, held in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The long history of SRHSB has led to accumulation of a considerable
archive, much of which is housed in the Wellcome Library in London
but some of which will be available on the website.
For members of the Society, there
is an area that is accessible only by use of your username and
password which will be sent to you by email. This area will contain
a facility to pay your subscriptions online (and periodic reminders
from the Hon Treasurer when subscriptions are due). The Society
Newsletter will also be posted here. There will be reciprocal links
to other relevant societies and notices of other meetings of
interest. A list of journals in which full papers of your Annual
Meeting presentations can be published will be compiled, and anyone
who wishes to add to the list should send the journal title and its
website link to the SRHSB Webmaster, Waheed Ashraf waheed.ashraf@nottingham.ac.uk.
This should serve to encourage new or inexperienced scientists to
publish their work in appropriate journals.
Finally, there is an area that the
Executive Committee can use to post meeting details, agenda,
minutes and messages. This is accessible only to Executive
Committee members.
We hope that you are pleased with
the new website, which should serve as a resource for existing
members as well as attracting new members. As this is a new
venture, comments and suggestions from members will be welcome.
We are now preparing for the next
Scientific Meeting in Vancouver, and we look forward to receiving
abstract submissions from members and non-members early in 2010.
Please see the relevant parts of the website for more details,
including the Casey Holter Prize Essay.
