Sad to share the news that Steve Maier died yesterday. In addition to their many scientific contributions, Steve & Linda created a lab that mentored dozens of professors, policy makers and industry leaders. Those folks shaped me & I'm grateful to be in a position to pay it forward. 💔s to the MW fam.
