Today I still stayed in the Fung Library in the international center which is only two-minute walk from my house. Just got this message from school that Judah Folkman died on Monday.
Geez, what a shock. I had one talk from him last year. He looked fine then.
The first thought came to my mind is "what will happen to his lab?". Folkman has more than 100 postdocs under him in Children Hospital. Several months ago one Taiwanese postdoc in his lab just posted messages on PTT/NTU BBS boards trying to recruit new postdocs to Folkman's lab.
Now you have this.
Yeah, no good for working for elder PIs even they are really successful.

Dr.Folkman died of a heart attack in the Denver International Airport on Monday.
With his pioneering work in anti-angiogenesis which opened a new front in the war on cancer. I thought he had a very good shot on Nobel prize in years. It is a shame.
