We will miss his sharp mind, his wit, his independent mind, and his friendship. Science is less fun without him.

Tim Bestor left us this summer. An extraordinary scientist, epigenetic pioneer, always challenging dogma with a flair for language. For us, above all, he was a generous, loyal, caring and deeply supportive mentor. « Be cool everybody », as he used to saywhen leaving the lab at the end of the day.
