Welcome Welcome to Issue 2 of the relaunched RPS Imaging Science Group newsletter. Thanks to some extra input from the membership, we have a slightly longer edition this time. Do keep this coming as the aim is to fill future newsletters with contributions from members. This edition has a very similar structure to Issue 1, • • •
Event reviews. In this issue we have a review of The Photography & Video Show 2025. Future events. Here we feature Good Picture and the London Imaging Meeting 2025. Science in the Society. This edition brings an Imaging Science perspective on a recent meeting of the RPS Historical Group and an article on Evidence-Based photography in medical practice. I found the latter particularly thought provoking in the difference between facts, evidence, research and information. It would be good to hear from readers about conferences or meetings they attend.

Member’s projects. No members projects to feature this time. Hopefully this platform will provide a forum for members to show their work, completed or in progress. 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 we have a paper from the RPS Imaging Science Journal taking on deep learning for art conservation. Yet to come. A new section with some suggestions on future content and events. It would be great to hear your thoughts for next time. I have started to receive feedback from members on content for the future. Keep this coming – this is your newsletter.
To reiterate, 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. In this edition we have a review of a Historical Group event and a feature on Medical photography. I hope that we can build on this for future editions. I look forward to hearing from you. Send me a science image for the top of the newsletter. Dr Alan Hodgson ASIS HonFRPS, Imaging Science Group newsletter editor isnews@rps.org
