Welcome to the second edition of the monthly RC52 Bulletin. Please help us populate future issues by sending information on publications and other items of interest to Tracey Adams, RC52 President, at tladams@uwo.ca There will not be an issue of the Bulletin published in December, as we will publish one of our bi-annual editions of the RC52 newsletter (as mandated by the ISA). If you have updates on publications over the last six months, calls for papers, or other events, that we could include in the December newsletter please send information to Lara Maestripieri, RC52 Vice-President, at lara.maestripieri@gmail.com
