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.
