Descrizione dell’editore
On Sunday 14th December 2008 at the age of 67, Ed Wood passed away from a heart attack suddenly and unexpectedly. The sadness it has engendered in those who knew Ed is enormous, but his was a life that was lived to great purpose. Soft spoken and unassuming, Ed was treasured by many friends and colleagues around the world. He was indefatigable in advancing Biochemical Education as an activity, and generously bestowed his friendship on many. In a world of multiple connections between people, Ed achieved a surfeit of connections and an enormous return of affection from those he dealt with. Ed had the energy, given to few, to be a conscientious leader, guide and mentor in all aspects of his personal and professional life. He was always a great correspondent, with a sense of humour that illuminated the silliness of the administrative pomp he encountered. His rapidly written, neat handwriting with a slight backward slope was always a welcome sight on incoming letters. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
