Dr. Gary Heussler's passing is a devastating loss to the Amherst Biology Community. We are grieving his passing and deeply miss his infectious energy and excitement. I know our students would have loved him. Please see the thread for donations and obituary.

My lab and I are heartbroken by the loss of Dr. Gary Heussler, who passed away unexpectedly last week. Gary was a beacon of positivity and humor in our lab, with infectious enthusiasm for microbiology and mentoring. He was a cherished part of our community and is deeply missed.

The Amherst Bio Dept is deeply saddened to have lost our new colleague Dr. Gary Heussler so soon after we had welcomed him into our community this summer. He brought such excitement and enthusiasm for microbiology and teaching, and we felt so lucky that he had joined us.
