Dear Lucie, dear Pierre, It was really nice meeting you both at this year's BioBrillouin conference. I hope you also had an enjoyable and inspiring time. Kareem mentioned that the next newsletter will include an obituary for Jochen, along with a photograph. I’ve drafted a text for this purpose (attached). Please let me know if you’d like to use it in its current form or if you prefer to make any changes. The photo was taken by Stephan Spangenberg in Jochen’s office at the MPL and should be credited accordingly. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you need any further information. Best wishes, Stephanie On 03.12.25 14:45, Kareem Elsayad wrote:

Hi Stephanie,

Would you be able to write short Obituary for Jochen for next Newsletter? (feel free to also delegate to anyone else formerly in his lab as you see fit). If so, please send directly to newsletter@biobrillouin.org (together with any pics you would like to accompany).

All the best,

Kareem
