In Passing

by

Those who knew him were saddened by the death yesterday of former Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory Director Harlyn O. Halvorson.

In the Journal “Biology of the Cell” in 2024, Professor Halvorson reported on the development of the molecular biology program at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, under his direction. He was at the University of Wisconsin at a critical time, and, in addition to his own research, he helped pull together the laboratory facilities and academic talent that assured UW’s distinction in the field for decades to come. Later in his career he performed a similar service for Brandeis University and again for the MBL.

Professor Halvorson was 83 years old. My sympathy to his friends and family.

Sensible Talk

by

USC’s Annenberg School of Communications Online Journalism Review (OJR) will be no more, reports Robert Niles through a post on the OJR blog and via a Facebook announcement. A goal of OJR “has been to help mid-career journalists make a successful transition from other media to online reporting and production.” USC Annenberg refers OJR readers to the Knight Digital Media Center, where support in this area will continue.

Details about the reasons for shuttering the OJR site are missing at this point, but Niles will continue blogging and community organizing at a new site he calls “Sensible Talk.” Sensible Talk is billed as “Analysis from the reality-based world.”

I can get behind that.
