The Spring/Summer 2020 Review is available online. The Review, which used to be called the Society’s newsletter, has been redesigned.
I might be a bit biased [disclosures: I’m on the Society’s board and I authored one of the articles in this edition of the Review], but I think this Review has great stuff in it.
