Welcome Welcome to the relaunch of the RPS Imaging Science Group newsletter. The Imaging Science Group is the oldest of the Special Interest Groups of the RPS and over our 100+ year history there have been (at least) two series of newsletters. As this is probably the second relaunch it has become New Series 2. We plan to place the older copies that we can find online as a historical record so if anyone has past copies do let me know. The aim is to fill future newsletters with contributions from members so do get in touch. The outline content plan as discussed with your Committee looks like this. • • • •
Event reviews. In this issue we have a review of the recent Imaging Science Group Good Picture conference. It would be good to hear from readers about conferences or meetings they attend. Science in the Society. In addition to the Imaging Science Group the RPS has a Science Committee and it would be good for this newsletter to become the mouthpiece of both. This edition brings the results of the recent Imaging Science Group AGM. Member’s projects. We hope this can become a forum to explore stuff we are working on. For this edition I have some thoughts on the International Year of Quantum Science & Technology. Literature reviews. Share with our membership what you are reading, explain what you have recently published or explore the publications from other RPS Special Interest Groups from an Imaging Science perspective. In this issue I will highlight the significance of the Penrose Annual in the practical implementation of Imaging Science.
This is your newsletter so as editor I aim to include your content. I am particularly interested in exploring common ground with other RPS Special Interest Groups. At a first guess this may come from Medical, Historical, Analogue and Digital Imaging, but I am happy to be surprised! In addition, I would welcome input from thoughts or events at RPS Region and Chapter level. I look forward to hearing from you. Send me a science image for the top of the newsletter.
