University semesters are winding down and we are looking forward to summer in the Northern hemisphere. The transient astronomy community is buzzing with news of the closest supernova in a decade, first spotted by an amateur astronomer in M101, the Pinwheel galaxy. We are looking forward to the FRB 2023 meeting being organized at the Indian Institute for Science Education and Research in Bhopal, India. Note that the organizers are requesting (no commitment) pre-registration to arrange governmental paperwork. Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy this edition of the FRB newsletter.
