Tagged for speedy, and I cant figure out why--notable organization publishing really major journals. I removed the speedy tag; it could use some references though.DGG (talk) 17:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

* Specific text to be added:
(heading) History
(paragraph) The Society for Experimental Biology was founded in 1923 by three zoologists, Lancelot Hogben, Julian Huxley, and Francis Crew. They had a significant influence on the publication and dissemination of experimental biology as a scientific field, initially in the UK but later with global impact.[1,2]
In 1923, the three scientists became unsatisfied with the lack of options for publishing their research in the new field of experimental biology. With input from peers, they helped to establish the British Journal of Experimental Biology, which was later renamed the Journal of Experimental Biology (JEB) [1,2,3]. At a journal board meeting later that year, the trio also decided to organise a conference at Birkbeck College London. The aim was to create an association to promote the journal and increase the influence of the scientific field of experimental biology. It was at this Conference in December 1923 that the Society for Experimental Biology was officially founded.[1,2]
