In Memoriam
Henry W. Kendall, chairman of the Union of Concerned Scientists and a member of IFPRI’s 2020 Vision International Advisory Committee, died February 15 in Florida while making an underwater photography dive. Dr. Kendall was a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose work revealed the existence of quarks, small particles inside atoms. As a founder of the Union of Concerned Scientists, Kendall also brought science to bear on public policy worldwide, speaking out on issues such as nuclear arms control and world food security. His voice calling for the wise and just use of science will be greatly missed.
