<small> </small> Dear all,
It is with great sadness to pass along the news that a great American
scientist has died. Lynn Margulis died on at 5:15 PM (17:15 EST) on
November, 22, 2011; she was 73 years old. She suffered a massive
hemorrhagic stroke last Thursday. She will be dearly missed by her
devoted family, students, her many friends and colleagues around the
world.
We at www.pantedmonkey.com (https://www.pantedmonkey.com) (from KOWS 107.3 Occidental radio station) had the special pleasure and privilege of talking with her twice….on 6/14/10 & 6/20/11.
Take off your shoes and turn off the phone and enjoy the company of this warm and brilliant biologist/evolutionist extraordinaire.

Lynn was a friend from childhood. She graciously acted as guide and critic of my understanding of evolution. My fondest memory of her was at dinner when I mentioned something about parasites. She turned on me with a commanding voice and said, "We don't use that word in this house!" Whether we like it or not we are even symbionts of our diseases. I will miss you Lynn.
