A Giant in the field of exercise science has left us.
Received the heartbreaking news that Steve Blair passed away last night. A true luminary in our field, but I'll remember him for his kindness and incredible support he showed me since becoming dept chair of @UofSCExSci. A great scientist...an even better man. Our hearts are heavy
