We mark another milestone in Fast Radio Burst observations this month as CHIME/FRB begins releasing public VOEvents for real-time detections (see below). Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy this round-up of recent relevant papers, and are staying safe and healthy wherever you are!

The CHIME/FRB collaboration is now sending out public alerts for new FRB detections through a VOEvent service. You can find more information about the service and how to subscribe on the CHIME/FRB Public Webpage. Technical support and FAQs are available on the CHIME/FRB open data page. The CHIME/FRB team welcomes questions or comments through their public discussions forum.
