Abstract
AbstractThis is a tribute to John Edmond, professor emeritus of biological chemistry in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, a renowned neurochemist who had a leadership role in founding the ICBEM meeting series in 1993. John was known for his very warm and engaging personality and his innovative approaches to studying the developing brain and auditory system. He was a brilliant scientist and a fun and delightful person. Without John Edmond's enthusiasm and contributions, we would not have the biennial ICBEM meetings which as noted by Dienel et al. “have had a high impact on conceptual and experimental advances” … “in the energetics and metabolism underlying neural functions”… and “on promoting collaborative interactions among neuroscientists.” Sadly, John Edmond passed away on February 18, 2022, following a cerebral hemorrhage. He will be greatly missed by his colleagues and friends.image
