Dear Friends, Colleagues and Otter Enthusiasts!
It is with great sorrow that I have to inform you that we lost Vic Simpson a few weeks ago. I can only say that the whole OSG has lost a person that was always supportive in science, and positive and smiling in the personal realm.
As indicated earlier this year we are working on the backlog of manuscripts. So we have already closed the first issue of 2018 and open now issue 35/2 as the next issue of 2018. Right now we may have 4 issues this year and I can promise that interesting things will be soon online. Due to the continuous but diminishing backlog authors that need a statement that their manuscript has been accepted for internal reasons can contact me and I will provide the necessary documentation.
We have received a lovely set of photos to use for front covers, but anybody in possession of otter pictures and the copyright is invited to send them to Lesley or me – we try to choose a species much represented in the contents of a certain issue, so all thirteen species are welcome!
Most of you will have seen already that the location and the date of the next Otter Colloquium has been decided and more information will soon be available on the website.
"Merci villmols" to Lesley for her continuous efforts to improve the accessibility and layout of the Bulletin and to give it a professional look and an easy and intuitive navigation. Lesley puts a lot of energy into this voluntary work and without her the Bulletin would not exist anymore. We both also want to thank for the compliments that re receive from some of you when a new issue is closed.
