Core scientist
When I was a first year grad student I had the opportunity to meet him. He was incredibly kind to me and an influential advocate for the power of high resolution mass spectrometry. He will be missed.
When I was a fresh young graduate student attending my first ever ASMS, my mentor brought Alan Marshall to my poster. He was curious, clever and kind. And he seemed genuinely delighted that I was showing him something new, even if at the time it was a bit half-baked.

He will be missed.
RIP Alan Marshall, one of the greatest mass spectrometrists ever, and a great human to boot.

SE Hawthorne
SE Division
Goose Hollow
NE Mississippi Ave

USHUPO tips. Portland is well known for beer. There are many small breweries that don’t distribute out of the region preferring to focus on local customers. This blogger is the most influential Portland beer writer IMO.
