We are deeply saddened to share news of the death of Prof. , who passed away last evening, after having struggled for many years with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and more recently with Epstein-Barr virus-driven large B-cell lymphoma.
Maggie was the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Professor of Chemistry, and she had taught at 人妻诱惑 since 1993. An inspiring teacher and mentor, she touched many 人妻诱惑 students' lives through her general and inorganic chemistry courses, as well as through her research. Maggie's energy and enthusiasm for life and for learning were evident in all her work. She will be deeply missed by her many students, her colleagues, her friends across the 人妻诱惑 community, and a national network of like-minded chemists. Maggie is survived by her husband, Tom, and two sons, Zach and Kieran.
We extend our deepest condolences to Maggie’s family and friends.
