Biology’s ‘gentle genius’ through the eyes of a protege
It’s been a week that Obaid Siddiqi, India’s molecular biology genius, passed away in a freak accident on July 26, 2013. Tributes have been pouring in from far and wide and we are overwhelmed by responses from our readers, fellow scientists and colleagues wanting to express their love, admiration and respect for the man variously called ‘Renaissance Man’ and the ‘Catalyst of a culture of creativity‘. We compiled some of this outpouring in the Nature India feature “India mourns loss of ‘aristrocratic & gutsy molecular biology guru“.
