Deeply saddened at the passing of Prof Ian Shipsey, our Head of Physics at Oxford. Ian was our fearless leader and endlessly enthusiastic champion and supportor of all our ambitions, from science to our daily working lives at Oxford. He was unique, and will be truly missed.
Saddened beyond belief by the sudden passing of our boss Ian Shipsey. Ian was remarkable, in his science & as a passionate unselfish force for good, who made a huge contribution to @OxfordPhysics @VRubinObs & much else.
