The Parapsychological Association has published a new issue of its bulletin, Mindfield - 11(3). Unfortunately it is available only to members or purchasers, but in case anyone is interested, here is the blurb:
"In this issue of Mindfield: The Bulletin of the Parapsychological Association, we "Meet the Next Generation" of researchers of parapsychological topics, observe their journeys inside parapsychology, learn what attracted such great researchers, recognize the crucial role of mentorship, and get a glimpse of the future of the field. With a total of 21 profiles, we gain a valuable overview of this next generation.
Later in the issue, Bethany Butzer discusses Bias in Parapsychology Research: Implications for Early-Career Scholars. Carlos Alvarado contributes Part 3 of Articles about the History of Parapsychology and Related Matters, and we share 64 titles from 51 mainstream journals for the 24th installment of Articles Relevant to Parapsychology in Journals of Various Fields."
