Met Professor Jon Dowling in Sydney (Australia) through our mutual friend and collaborator Dr Peter Rohde. I fondly recall going to an underground whisky bar—with a retinue of postdocs and a couple of academics—with Jon regaling us with stories, and buying us all the whisky ! – Was even able to selfishly take him aside to talk nonlinear optics and my own research topics, which he gave expert insights into (and we later had some back-and-forth over online). Really sad to hear of his passing. He will surely be missed. Thanks for posting this Professor Scott Aaronson—and as we say—wish his family long-life.
