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.
