In Memoriam: James Pawley

MSA sadly reports the passing of James Pawley on March 7, 2019. He was born in 1944 in England and educated in the US. In 1978 he joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin at Madison where he remained. His contributions to microscopy were related primarily to cell biology and to engineering, and were many and varied. He started by making several practical improvements to the Madison high-voltage EM, and then went on to develop use of high-resolution low-voltage SEM. Subsequently, he became a confocal light-microscopy pioneer. He is well-known for editing the Handbook of Biological Confocal Microscopy (Springer), which is now in its third edition (1989, 1995, 2006). After retiring, he devoted considerable effort to raising the alarm about climate change.
