What a loss! Had an opportunity to meet him last year during one of the immunology meetings. I remember him as a very insightful scientist and humble person. We had wonderful discussions on various aspects of how natural selection acts on immune system and pathogen resistance

I’m seeing some “free market” simps defending Nature’s 12k open access fees. Guess it’s time to bring this back around.
