We are saddened at the passing of Josiah Chan, a technician in the lab of Pam Sullivan's. Of Josiah, Pam wrote, “Josiah will be remembered for the joy he brought to the Sullivan Lab, OSU community, and beyond, and his willingness and ability to get the job done with humor, kindness, and friendship. Josiah had a tremendous impact on the science we conduct and will be deeply missed.”
