I could not agre...Hi Andy (and all Hym. fellows :)<br /><br />I could not agree more with your comments on the ISH newsletters. And I am glad that you mentioned Skaphion and TIGER -IMO they truly continue the tradition of those previous (and glorious!) examples of a former era. <br /><br />Here in the CNC, Ottawa, sometimes during lunch we discuss about that. I like to call this kind of newsletters "scientific gossip" because they allow a more spontaneous, free exchange of ideas. Admittedly, some of those ideas would never make it to a "formal", peer-reviewed journal, but it does not matter: they often contain the seeds for further papers -and occasionally a brilliant idea! And more importantly: they certainly give an idea of community of shared interests (as we should be!). <br /><br />In summary, I would happily second such an idea of making more lively and "scientifically gossiped" newsletters for the hymenopterists community. Thanks for bringing the topic (and see you in Hungary). <br /><br />Jose<br /><br />--<br />José L.
