As a devoted reader of the "Protein Crystallography" - the first and only
comprehensive manual of the protein crystallography,
I express my deep sorrow on the departure from us of DBE Commander, Professor
Louise Johnson.
May her soul rest in peace.
In full honor,

What a great lady to have inspired so many, and to remind us how welcoming

This indeed is sad news for today.
I just wanted to note that Professor Johnson's early papers on
time-resolved crystallography truly inspired me to continue in
crystallography, influenced my decision for my first postdoctoral position
and to push the limits. I still have the carefully highlighted
