Obituary - Bruce McEwen

On January 2, 2020 our colleague and dear friend, Dr. Bruce McEwen died after a brief illness.  I think that most of my colleagues would agree with me if I said that along with Hans Selye, Bruce was one of the greatest pioneer in stress research, both in animals and humans.  Bruce was also an amazing mentor who always wanted the best for young scientists.  We will miss him very much.  The field of psychoneuroendocrinology has lost a great scientist, and we all lost a very good friend.
