A post from the CUNY Biology Ph.D. program

The Biology Ph.D. Program at the City University of New York is deeply saddened by the loss of our much-admired colleague, Professor Joshua Wallman.  Dr. Wallman had become something of a fixture in the Neuroscience subprogram – having taught Neuroscience I to our first-year neuroscience students for over two decades.  His love and enthusiasm for science was equaled only by his dedication to transferring that enthusiasm to students.   He has also given selflessly to the Neuroscience subprogram, in general, having often served on its advisory committee.  During the last several years, plans have been made to move toward a multi-disciplinary program in the neurosciences, and Professor Wallman’s wise counsel has been invaluable to those efforts.  All of his fellow doctoral faculty members, his students in the classroom, and his students in the laboratory have lost a treasured colleague/mentor, but all of us are enriched by what he provided to us while he was here.
