alt obits guy 3,371 Posted June 6, 2021 William Joseph 'Bill' Whelan, a noted British-born American biochemist, has died. He was 96. Despite what the announcement in the link below says, his date of death was June 5th, 2021, not July 5th, 2021. Unless his biochemistry abilities allow him to remain in chemical stasis until July 5th, at which point he could delay his death, thus making the statement retroactively accurate. (I have been watching too much Big Bang Theory.) https://iubmb.org/william-bill-whelan-a-renowned-biochemist-with-a-long-history-of-influential-service-to-the-iubmb-died-july-5-2021/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
