Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, born on February 1, 1952. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more!

First met Joan Guinovart at IUBMB conf in 2016. In 2018, he became my forever mentor and friend when he became Past President and I became President Elect of @IUBMB. Always a true scholar, often texting me in Greek, with a great sense of humour, he enriched the lives of so many.
