#OnThisDay in 1938, American evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis was born. Margulis is most known for developing and popularising the endosymbiotic theory, which explains how eukaryotic cells evolved organelles from simpler prokaryotic organisms that resided within another and became incorporated.

Headshot of Jeff Cole

We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Professor Jeff Cole, a long-standing member who held many positions in the Society. Jeff was elected an Honorary Member in 2011. You can read his full obituary here: microb.io/46xYzkz

FEMS is saddened to learn of the recent passing of Prof. Jeff Cole, former Editor-in-Chief of FEMS Microbiology Letters. He was committed to advancing the field & supporting young scientists. His legacy will continue to shape the community he helped nurture: t.co/g9kxRhYniO

Very sad to read this. I first met Jeff when I was a PhD student in the late 90s and he was always generous with his time, especially to ECRs. His passion and enthusiasm for microbiology was inspiring.
