I want to thank #JaneMaienschein for this lovely piece on #GarAllen who passed away earlier this year. He was an important #historianofscience and a model for welcoming #newbieslikeme into the field. A gentle and kind man whom I am lucky to have known. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh5118
