I'm sorry to hear that. I met Russ several times at NSH over the years and had several email correspondences with him. He was always helpful and a great guy.

I was saddened to hear of his recent passing after a seven year battle with Alzheimers. I'll not presume to eulogize him, there are many who knew him better and longer, suffice it to say you would have to go a long way to find a kinder, more helpful man with as great a passion for laboratory science, scientific education and Welsh rugby. On his annual trips to the US to present workshops at NSH meetings he would always find time for a pint or two and spirited discussion about the progress of the profession on both sides of the pond. The following is the URL of an obituary of Russ by the current chief executive if the Institute of Biomedical Scientists. http://www.ibms.org/go/media-centre:monthly-comment I'm off to the beer aisle so I can lift a Brains in his honour tonight. Cheers, Russ and farewell.
