BIOS Reporter – Volume 36, No.4 – October 2012

This being my first edition of the Reporter as editor, I would like to take the opportunity to thank my predecessor David Shuker for his help in handing over the position and also for his work over the past few years as editor. He has done an excellent job and I am sure, as you can imagine, it will not be an easy task to undertake lightly. Please bear with me over the next few issues until I find my feet and do not expect to see any radical changes straight way! I have had many kind words of encouragement from members, for which I extend my thanks. I look forward to my time as Editor and to working with many of you.

A publication such as the Reporter is only as good as the material that is sent to the Editor, so please do send me articles, research notes, reviews and other items that will be of interest to our readers. We are the British Institute of Organ Studies so I encourage material from all parts of the United Kingdom. I am keen to have write ups of BIOS events by someone other than myself, as I and Members of Council think that this should give a more balanced viewpoint. I look forward to receiving material from you…
