In Memoriam Woody Hastings
We were saddened to hear of the passing last week of J. Woodland “Woody” Hastings. He was a consummate scientist who did pioneering work in bioluminescence, quorum sensing, circadian rhythms, and more. But he was also a warm and generous human being, and he will be sorely missed.
The Library exhibit on Bioluminescence that was on display in the lobby of the Northwest Building last year was inspired by Woody’s work. The accompanying webguide (http://guides.library.harvard.edu/Bioluminescence) is dedicated to him.
