The time to think and inquire are precious. Inquiring means to contemplate a problem without needing an immediate answer, to sit in the unknown long enough that different kinds of answers emerge. Important part of the process of discovery. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Dr. Steve Blair had an extremely impactful career while also being a very kind and compassionate human being. He also grew up in a small town in rural Kansas. He will be profoundly missed in the field of exercise physiology.
Steve Blair, PED, FACSM, was an ACSM past president (1996-97), ACSM Honor Award recipient, Joseph B. Wolffe memorial lecturer and a giant in the field of exercise epidemiology. ACSM pays tribute to his lasting legacy: acsm.org/home/acsm-spotlight…

I am deeply shocked and sorry to learn that Jeff Robbins is no longer with us. He was truly a dedicated mentor, scientist, colleague, and, for me, above and beyond. We will truly miss him, but his science will remain with us forever! Rest in Peace, Jeff!!
