Very sorry to hear about Jim's passing. Great scientist and an even greater person 😢
My heart is heavy today in the passing from this life of my friend and colleague @JimAlfano1. Too young, too soon. This has been a particularly heavy year of grieving @UNLincoln faculty.. Swanson, Bomberger-Brown, Combs, Starace, Turner, and now Alfano. Such legacies are rare.
