[IIGB_All] Remembering Joanne Chory

[Katayoon Dehesh]

Dear Colleagues,
It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the passing of Joanne Chory, a true champion of plant sciences, an inspirational role model, and an unwaveringly dedicated scientist. Joanne passed away on Tuesday afternoon due to complications from Parkinson's disease.
Her passing is an immense loss to the scientific community, but her legacy will endure. Joanne's groundbreaking contributions to plant science have left an indelible mark, and her visionary work will continue to inspire generations of scientists. Her memory lives on, and her impact will forever shape the landscape of scientific achievement.
Joanne will be deeply missed, but the light she kindled in our field will never dim. Let us honor her by continuing to pursue the curiosity and rigor she exemplified throughout her life.
With deepest condolences to all,
Katie
