Beautifully put! I was too shocked to write such an eloquent note. I also remember his enthusiasm and sense of humor.

Rice <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Bill Scott Dear Professor Rice, Thank you for sharing this very sad news. Speaking on behalf of the myriad crystallography-based biochemists who came up in the 1990s, Bill was someone who many of us looked up to, learned from, and relied upon for practical solutions to common problems. Bill's willingness to contribute so much time and effort to the greater community was exemplary. People like him (and there are many of you) are the reason why crystallography continues to be one of the (if not the) greatest and most impactful scientific communities. Best wishes, Tom Huxford. ============== Tom Huxford Structural Biochemistry Laboratory Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry San Diego State University (619) 594-1606 On Oct 10, 2025, at 2:23 PM, Phoebe A.

I’m sure many members of this community will remember his contributions to crystallography in general and RNA structure in particular. His last wish was no flowers, but donations in his memory to MECA ( Middle East Children's Alliance) for the children of Gaza. ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1%3DCCP4BB%26A%3D1&source=gmail-imap&ust=1760736205000000&usg=AOvVaw1o7BVc6xEsU_oPIiZJdeAZ> ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
