Stanley Falkow (1934-2018) (Cell Host & Microbe)

Stanley Falkow`s intellect, creativity, and wit have impacted the way we think about antibiotic resistance, bacterial pathogens, and infectious diseases and have led to a `gestalt` of the way researchers study and view host-microbial interactions. Sadly, arguably one of the most influential microbiologists in the past 50 years passed away on May 5 after a battle with myelodysplasia syndrome.
