Welcome! I'd like to start by thanking Melissa for her efforts in setting up the BMS networking opportunities. We hope this will be helpful in encouraging personal contacts, help solve problems, facilitate exchange of useful information/ideas, and provide a mechanism for sharing items of immediate interest or 'late breaking' news. I'll add my brief communications whenever appropriate. I chaired my first BMS committee meeting last week, and thought we had a productive time (more about that in the newsletter) with a great bunch of people full of ideas and desire to help the society develop. One issue I'm keen to pursue during my term of office is increasing the profile of the BMS (we have just submitted a response to the REF consultation document; thanks to Dave Bates for taking a lead on that) and working more closely with like-minded societies (we agreed closer cooperation with the MCS, look for an email to all members about that!).
Best wishes for the new academic year,
