Welcome to another issue of AOS News. This issue was initially quite light on article submissions, so I am very grateful to everyone who managed to send something in. We do have a range of articles, with details of the recent Science meets Parliament event in Canberra as well as a response on the issue of ‘The Dress’. There is a report from the recent APOS meeting in Korea and information about the upcoming conferences in Adelaide and Sydney at the end of the year as well as details of events that are running as part of the International Year of Light. Other items in this issue include an article from the winner of the 2013 AOS WH (Beattie) Steel Medal, John Harvey, on similaritons and our ‘Optics in Everyday Life’ section, which looks at the colour of electrons in this issue.
