Thanks for the news George.
This is a very very sad news. A Great scientist. Many Scientists miss him, particularly the Microscopy world!
We surely miss him.

Thank you for spreading the news, George, as sad and distressing as it is. It was the first I heard, even though I live here in Eugene where he passed away!  As I understand, he loved it here.  It's was very hot here earlier this week, with a lot of ash in the air from forest fires.  Not the ideal climate for riding a bike on trails.  I wonder if that contributed?

I've shared the news with my colleagues here at Molecular Probes, where he is revered, and on the Molecular Probes and Gibco Facebook pages.  He will be missed.  It can't be overstated how amazing of a contribution he made to our field.

This is terribly sad.  That is too young for a fit, active man to die.  Roger Tsien never let fame and honours go to his head.  He was always completely approachable, friendly, and helpful.  He and I didn't agree on one or two issues - and debate was always friendly and respectful.  He didn't even hold it against me that I was from Oxford and he was from Cambridge!.  We have lost a scientific giant - a gentle , friendly giant.

Roger was a great contributor to microscopy and a name that came up in conversation frequently.  
64 is too young to go.  He will be sadly missed.  
As those of us in that age group and older pass on, the younger generation of researchers with their different view of living life will have to carry on.
I hope that they will continue with the same dedication, enthusiasm and enjoyment of science as us older types have experienced.

Roger was a great contributor to microscopy and a name that came up in
conversation frequently.
64 is too young to go.  He will be sadly missed.
As those of us in that age group and older pass on, the younger generation
of researchers with their different view of living life will have to carry
on.
I hope that they will continue with the same dedication, enthusiasm and
enjoyment of science as us older types have experienced.

In my first conference as a Ph.D. student, the next poster over was a nice
fellow reporting a new technique called correlative light-electron
microscopy.  Despite a truly remarkable line of folks waiting to see his
poster he found time to ask about my project and offer some supportive
(and very helpful!) feedback.  It took a year or two for me to realize the
significance of that encounter.  Roger Tsien was truly one of the most
unassuming and generous scientists I have met.  RIP.

Dear all--

One of our members, Guy Cox, has attempted to post to the List but for
reasons that aren't clear, the system isn't sending him confirmation
requests and his posts aren't appearing.  I'm posting the following on
his behalf. --Please email me directly if the List hasn't accepted your
posts or if you have not received confirmation requests.

My apologies for the inconvenience!  We're trying to determine find
where the problem lies.

Martin Wessendorf

Sad news indeed. I had the good fortune of listening to his lecture a few years back, where he spoke about his latest work on the medical applications of using GFP or derivatives during live surgery to demarcate the nerve from the tumor tissue to be excised. This was really useful translational research at the clinic that he was putting basic science to clinical use. He had mentioned in the lecture that he was a cancer survivor himself, I wonder if the cancer had anything to do with his passing. No information seems to be available about the reasons for his passing.

Thank you for spreading the news, George, as sad and distressing as it is. It was the first I heard, even though I live here in Eugene where he passed away!  As I understand, he loved it here.  It's was very hot here earlier this week, with a lot of ash in the air from forest fires.  Not the ideal climate for riding a bike on trails.  I wonder if that contributed?

I've shared the news with my colleagues here at Molecular Probes, where he is revered, and on the Molecular Probes and Gibco Facebook pages.  He will be missed.  It can't be overstated how amazing of a contribution he made to our field.

Jason
