Sorry to hear about Bill’s death. I remember meeting him as a young post-doc, for the first time at a Dicty meeting, he immediately put me at ease and he was very welcoming.

Bill started his scientific journey with Dicty in the 1960’s and remained active in the field until his death. He was looking forward to joining all of us in Tucson at the end of the month. Bill was a passionate and erudite scientist, his enthusiasm and love of knowledge were infectious and his devotion to rigorous biological research and education was unwavering. To us, Bill was a teacher, a mentor, a friend and a father figure. We will miss him dearly. > > Gadi and Adam -------------------------------------------------------------------- Astudio gyda ni yn Aberystwyth - Prifysgol Gyntaf Cymru https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.aber.ac.uk_cy_undergrad_&d=CwIF-g&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=G0i-xkKvWepiOT01FF_Nx9XkaEEFt5Dttsc3yIePxBPU44aHfHsMfVSlUygwIJiN&m=LcF7h2XxS8fS7ScWw8hKXic3be4lgW_dwBh1nYE7HNg&s=ivxfzfFHOIMB0EcjYxTSfIJA_H7bm7d7_L05NhrXONk&e= Study at Aberystwyth – Wales’ First University https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.aber.ac.uk_en_undergrad_&d=CwIF-g&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=G0i-xkKvWepiOT01FF_Nx9XkaEEFt5Dttsc3yIePxBPU44aHfHsMfVSlUygwIJiN&m=LcF7h2XxS8fS7ScWw8hKXic3be4lgW_dwBh1nYE7HNg&s=HRUPo1M8EOIgiAR05U7nDaXbiy_ahyDFh5HgjvCb3FI&e=
