We have lost a giant in the mechanobiology world. Mike Sheetz helped to define what we know of focal adhesion formation and their role as mechanotransducers. Sending his family, friends, and colleagues my warmest wishes.

Things I'm sick of hearing from my employees:

- Can I leave early today
- I'll be late in the morning
- My child is sick, can I rush off
- I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow, is that okay
- I'm going to be late back from lunch, I've got some things to sort

I don't care.
