The best party in town

Everyone “in the know” knows that the IOP Publishing reception is the best party in town. The food was a fantastic mix of Tex-Mex and classic Italian and the wine was flowing. And where else can you chat about topics as diverse as thermoelectrics, information storage in DNA and the current state of theoretical physics in the UK?

This year there was one more reason to go to the reception: three lucky partygoers won annual IOPimembership from the Institute of Physics. This means that they will receive the new-and-improved digital version of Physics World for a year plus access to past issues, our video archive and more.

You can find out more about becoming an IOPimember here.
