We are very sad to hear of the death today of Richard Fortey, a colleague regarded with immense affection and with great respect for his achievements in palaeontological science, writing and broadcasting
Really sad to report that our friend and colleague Richard Fortey passed away this morning after a short battle with cancer. We’ll all miss his wit and wisdom. Here he is checking out a dino footprint we found while filming together on the Isle of Wight

RIP Rudolf Nieuwenhuys (1927-2024), my oldest friend and intellectual soulmate. Vertebrate neuroanatomist par excellence, indefatigable scientist. Two weeks ago he was waiting for page proofs of his latest paper. Alas, it will be his last. Will miss you.

RIP Michael Ghiselin (13 May 1939-14 June 2024). Philosophical biologist par excellence. Will cherish the memories of dinners in London and musing philosophically while sipping craft beers he'd brought for me from an ice bucket in a conference hotel.
