It is with great sadness and sense of loss for the neuroscience community that we announce the passing of C.S. “Rick” Lin, PhD, Professor of Neurobiology and Anatomical Sciences; Psychiatry and Human Behavior; Pediatrics; and Executive Director of the Center for Development Disorders Research - University of Mississippi Medical Center on January 10, 2017. He was 72. Rick was not only an accomplished neuroanatomist/neurophysiologist but one who had a profound influence on the work of his colleagues at the University of Mississippi and former institutions where he held faculty positions: Duke University, University of Texas Health Science Center – Dallas, and Hahnemann/Drexel University in Philadelphia. He will be sorely missed for his contributions to science in fields ranging from sensory systems to autism, and as a mentor, friend, and advisor.
