We will innumerate these contributions in the future, but I would also like to say that Morris was the nicest guy I know. Joe, I tried to call you earlier today, and we greatly appreciate your thoughts. Louise, Morris's daughter, always mentioned how happy Morris was to see you when he was in WA. And Juan, I know how much this saddens you. We will work hard to insure that the projects Morris was working on will get completed, and we also will remember that a kind attitude promotes science in the best way....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180350328611241752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871542942842750523.post-32311812769678826902010-11-16T19:30:00.031-05:002010-11-16T19:30:00.031-05:00Es una gran pena la muerte de Morris, tengo la sue...Es una gran pena la muerte de Morris, tengo la suerte de haber trabajado con el por 3 años en Detroit y haberlo visto en el meeting de evolucion en la cuidad de portland.

He was a pioneer among pioneers in molecular evolution, and he remained very active -- many of you may have noticed him standing his group's poster at the Evolution2010 meetings in Portland. It is remarkable to think that he showed in 1962, by immunological methods that humans, chimps, and gorillas were a clade -- and that he had active large-scale genomic projects in 2010!<br /><br />As a person he was also a real sweetie. I did an interview with him this year, asking mostly about his work in the early days.<br /><br /><a href="http://evolution.gs.washington.edu/cool/GoodmanInterview2010.mp3" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is an MP3 audio file of that interview. (Ignore the 1-minute silence in the middle where I go to get him a drink of water).Joe Felsensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359126552631140000noreply@blogger.com
