The RNA Society newsletter, which is emailed to all the RNA Society Members twice a year, is a great means to disseminate information to our members, and act as a forum to discuss issues affecting the Society and RNA science. If something in this newsletter inspires dialogue with your colleagues, please send us your opinion. We also encourage the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to write to us with issues that affect them. If you are interested in contributing an item to the newsletter, such as an opinion piece, historical perspective, career advice or any item you feel would be relevant to a member of the RNA Society, please contact Brenda Peculis. Thanks to all who contributed to these issues.
