The Last Word...
To those of you who paniced, or at least expressed concern, that you hadn't heards from us in July, not to worry, all is well. We just decided to combine the July and August Newsletters over the summer, in the expectation that news would be slow and readership possibly slower. Turns out not to be the case, as you can see from this lengthier than usual Newsletter. It does perhaps raise the issue of what we should be including - comments would be welcome. Now that summer is (almost) over, we will begin compiling the 2012 events calendar, so if you are planning to organise or attend a conference on bio/chemo sensors, let us know.
