In this issue of Contact, which marks the magazine’s first anniversary, we dive into the world of gravitational waves and how radio telescopes will use this new window into the Universe. We also look at how skills used in radio astronomy have been used to fight coronavirus in South Africa, and announce the conclusion of all major reviews for SKA prior to construction. Under science news, we look at recent exciting fast radio burst observations, as well as observations of our own star. Last but not least, we remember one of the great pioneers of radio astronomy, who has just passed away.
