We welcome the identification of a theme on "Solar Variability and its Impact on Us". This is very important given the growing awareness of the risks posed by space weather and potential links, as yet not understood, to long-term climate. However, we can only pursue this through a balanced programme that looks at the whole chain of physics that connects the core of the Sun to Earth’s lithosphere and all the many regions in between. The present draft is heavily biased towards the solar end. This needs to be rectified.

STFC has reestablished the Solar System Advisory Panel, the terms of reference and membership of which are outlined here. The panel has been asked to provide input to the 2013 Programmatic Review. To gain an understanding of the Solar System Science research community's priorities there will be a town hall meeting at the RAS on Monday 10 September, starting at around 10:30. Further logistical details will be published in early September.
A strong turnout from the MIST community will help show we are active and have an important contribution to make to Solar System Science in the UK, so we encourage as many people as possible to attend.
