I’m devastated to hear of the death of Dr. C. Norm Coleman, the very best of #radonc. I was so, so privileged to have learned from him @theNCI. My condolences to his family, friends, and lab members. This video captures a bit of his extraordinary spirit: https://t.co/hJlQVAZUGM

I’m speechless. And lucky to have run into him at ASTRO, where he was, as always, kind, enthusiastic, and encouraging. He was the physician-scientist we all aspire to be. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. 💔
Heartbroken to hear devastating news that Cullen Taniguchi died suddenly. A brilliant physician-scientist in #radonc, who made impacful discoveries, was an inspiring mentor, and elevated everyone around him. My condolences to his family & his friends & colleagues @MDAndersonNews
