Bunnell was a pioneer of the personal computing industry who founded some of the most successful computer magazines, including PC Magazine, PC World and Macworld. He had the idea that biotechnology would become a big thing, and he was right! Early on, BioWorld was converted to a faxed publication, called BioWorld Today. Shortly after, BioWorld Financial Watch (a weekly look at financial trends) was launched along with a nascent data service that tracked the biopharmaceutical industry. BioWorld’s former owner, Thompson Media Group, acquired BioWorld in 1994. BioWorld dropped the faxed version and converted to digital delivery. BioWorld was acquired by Thomson Reuters in 2013. In 2016 Thomson Reuters spun off the Intellectual Property and Science division, which emerged as an independent company now known as Clarivate. </p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>BioWorld MedTech</strong></span> <br> The assets of Biomedical Business International were acquired in 1994. The flagship publication, The BBI Newsletter, was converted to a weekly for the med-tech industry in 1997. In 2001, it became Medical Device Daily. In 2017, the news service was rebranded as BioWorld MedTech. </p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>BioWorld Science</strong></span> <br>Originally called Prous Science Daily Essentials, this news service was renamed several times since it was launched in 1996. BioWorld Science joined the group in 2018 with a focus on discovery and preclinical research news to support crucial drug R&D decisions at the earliest stages every business day. Readers who need more technical details will find that BioWorld Science delivers competitive scientific intelligence about novel compounds and those in development across all therapy areas drawn from multiple information sources. </p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>BioWorld Asia</strong></span> <br>In response to a rapidly increasing demand for more news from this region, BioWorld Asia was launched in 2013 to provide biopharmaceutical executives with a trusted, steady stream of intelligence from this critical part of the world. </p> <h3> <a name="schedule"></a><strong>Publishing schedule</strong> </h3> <p> BioWorld publishes every business day with the following exceptions: </p> <p> <strong><em>2024 nonpublishing days*</em></strong> </p> <table border="1" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><colgroup> <col> <col span="100%"> <col> </colgroup> <tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;
