e-bulletin 36 – 1.0 Introduction

Welcome to the last ISSOP e-bulletin of 2018 and the first in the new format which will appear on the website as well as in your in-box if you have signed up!

Please be sure to do so by to receive this all important news promptly => go to https://www.issop.org/ and look for the gray box (to right on a computer, at the bottom on a tablet or phone).

This month we are featuring Climate Change (CC) following the recent IPCC report. CC still seems a distant problem to many in the West but last summer’s weather shows how the times they are a’changing – and in many parts of the world, CC is already reaping death and destruction. Getting to grips with how we can change the situation – being part of the solution rather than part of the problem – is going to be a priority for ISSOP in coming years and you will find many pointers in this e-bulletin, together with reviews and updates from all around the world. As ever we welcome your articles, comments and pictures and the editorial address is below. We are also glad to report that Nataliya Ustinova from Moscow has joined the editorial board.

Tony Waterston, Raul Mercer, Rita Nathawad, Gonca Yilmaz, Nataliya Ustinova
