Today the Institute of Biology and Biosciences Federation officially merged to become one organisation, the Society of Biology. The formation of the SOB marks an exciting day for the biosciences, with a single, representative umbrella organisation speaking with a unified voice. The Society of Biology will operate through a Council and two Committees: Education, Training and Policy and Membership, Marketing and Communications. A series of sub-groups will operate within the Committees.

The new Chief Exectutive for the Society of Biology is yet to be announced.

The BES is a member organisation of the Society of Biology.
