Robert Weisberg died suddenly and unexpectedly on 1 September 2011. Bob was a major contributor to the study of bacteriophage lambda, and he made seminal contributions to our understanding of site-specific recombination and transcription termination. He was also an exceptional citizen of the microbial community, serving as an editor for both the Journal of Virology (1983 to 1988) and the Journal of Bacteriology (1985 to 1995). He will certainly be missed. Max Gottesman wrote the following tribute to his long-time friend and colleague.
罗伯特·魏斯伯格于 2011 年 9 月 1 日突然离世,令人意外。鲍勃是噬菌体 λ研究领域的主要贡献者,他对位点特异性重组和转录终止的研究做出了开创性的贡献。他也是微生物社区的杰出公民,曾担任《病毒学杂志》(1983 年至 1988 年)和《细菌学杂志》(1985 年至 1995 年)的编辑。他的离去无疑令人深感痛惜。马克斯·戈特斯曼为这位他的老友和同事写下了以下挽词。
