David Botstein passed away. I worked with him at Stanford for a few years in designing and teaching a course on "The Heart". My heart is heavy right now. He was a wonderful mentor.

Farewell to an absolute giant of molecular genetics, David Botstein www.online-tribute.com/DavidBotstein

Sad to learn that David Botstein has passed away. Few people truly shape how you think and do science, and David was definitely one of them. I had a fun and influential time at Princeton with the Botstein, Kruglyak and co gangs. It shaped the way I do science.

It's been a sad fortnight for science. We've lost:

...his strong and unapologetic opinions, and his deep, unwavering commitment to his students and to the broader scientific community.

Beyond his scientific contributions, David’s most enduring legacy may be the generations of scientists he trained and inspired.

And of course, I remember his kindness of taking me on as a clueless engineering student and getting me a start in genetics. I only worked with him for a year, more than twenty years ago, but I still think about things he said.
