It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Professor Jeff Cole, former President and current Vice President of the European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB).

A dedicated leader, respected microbiologist, and valued member of our community, his impact on EFB and the wider field will not be forgotten.

Our thoughts are with his family and colleagues.

I am so saddened at the news of the passing of my long term friend and colleague, Yehuda Cohen. We worked together on ISME business for more than a decade. A wonderful, warm person who brought about massive changes and always supported early career researchers.

Following Sir Alexander Fleming’s term as the first President of the Microbiology Society, in 1947, the helm was taken by Marjory Stephenson, one of Britain’s most distinguished bacterial chemists. See our list of esteemed Presidents here: https://t.co/YroiyVSMJB

@GillesvanWezel Love it. I always enjoy being involved in conference organising and being there, seeing it all set up before anyone arrives.

[Hilary Lappin-Scott also on bluesky @lappinscott]

@RosieMS @ThalidomideM That looks stunningly beautiful. I was right by there a few days ago and often go and look at the memorial, sadly I missed it this time.
