  SAN DIEGO, CA, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Scientist Solutions, Inc., a life sciences company globally connecting
scientists through its premier online discussion board and science
community, announced today that its sister company BioTech Solutions,
Inc. (BTS) officially changed its name to Scientist Solutions Events.
Scientist Solutions Events is a life science tradeshow company, founded
in 2004, that serves thousands of life scientists onsite at more than 200
institutions, with product showcases from over 400 different vendors
throughout North America.

    Last year, the company conducted more than 400 shows, reinforcing its
leading position in the market. The new domain name,
www.scientistsolutionsevents.com, will launch later this week with an
improved interface, followed by significant feature upgrades in the coming
weeks.

     Marcia Allen, Founder and Co-CEO of BTS and Scientist Solutions, was one
of the pioneers in the life sciences industry to create mobile product
events to minimize disruptions to scientists. Back in 1998, Ms. Allen and
a fellow scientist began setting up trade events in the scientists'
backyards to get them out of the lab, connecting the vendor and the
scientist in a new way. By conveniently bringing multiple vendors to the
scientists' location, scientists could access a wealth of product data at
one time and place to apply to their research. Ms. Allen opened the door
for significant research efficiencies with BTS by helping scientists to
have more time to work at their bench spaces uninterrupted by sales calls.

     In 2004, Ms. Allen launched two new companies to bring information more
efficiently to the life science community and to create a convenient
place where scientists from around the world could collaborate via the
Internet. "There are many synergies between our online community and
tradeshow businesses -- both share similar scientist customers and life
science vendor partners," said Ms. Allen. "It just made sense to leverage
the strong brand we have built with Scientist Solutions. We can now
promote these businesses as an integrated package to the vendor community
and cross promote them to scientists looking for collaboration, new
technology and product info."

    Key Differentiators of Scientist Solutions Events

    Over the past five years, Scientist Solutions Events (formerly BTS) has
expanded its scope to include locations throughout North America. In 2008,
the company hosted more than 400 mini-tradeshows or product showcases.
Scientist Solutions' team consists of life science experts with
backgrounds in research and/or sales. "We know our customers because many
of us have once sat in their seat," added Ms. Allen.

     "Scientists come to Scientist Solutions because we have built a
reputation as a trusted advisor -- a solution provider with free advice
that helps scientists speed discovery. As an organization by Scientists...
for Scientists, we have more scientists in our company than any other type
of staff. We are extremely protective and diligent about the content we
provide, and it's this reputation that continues to draw more people in,"
said Alfred Lagaya, CoFounder and former Scientist of Scientist Solutions
Events.

    "Scientist Solutions Events (formerly BTS) does an excellent job
coordinating the Gilead Supplier Expos," said Jim Latimer, C.P.M., Gilead
Sciences Director of Global Procurement. "We have more than 70 suppliers
and 300 Gilead employees at the event, and the feedback from all attendees
is positive. I recommend Scientist Solutions Events unequivocally."
