Dear EEB, I am pleased to announce that Dan Papaj has agreed to serve as the Associate Department Head beginning in Spring of 2008. I look forward to working with Dan as EEB has often drawn on his insights and wisdom concerning the complex issues facing our program. Please join me in welcoming Dan into this position and in thanking Bruce Walsh for his leadership and hard work during the last 6 years in this position. Bruce is resigning so as to focus on his work in population and quantitative genetics. – RickPassing of William Heed, Emeritus Professor, EEB
Bill Heed, Emeritus Professor and friend of EEB, passed away Monday, September 10th after a long illness. Bill was an international leader in the area of population biology, ecology and genetics especially of the Drosophila fauna of Mexico, Hawaii and the West Indies. He was widely known for his work on the cactophilic Drospophila of the Sonoran Desert. He joined the faculty at the University of Arizona in 1958 and retired from EEB after 34 years in 1992. He is survived by his wife, Sarah and daughters.
Further information will be shared as we get it. If you would like to pass on favorite memories of Bill, please send them to me and they will be collected and presented to his family.
