I am shocked and saddened to inform you of Stewart Conner's untimely
death this past September. He was a valued colleague and friend to many
of us in the flow cytometry community.
Stewart was a native Englander who moved to the US and eventually
settled in Boston. He was employed in 1987 by the Howard Huges Medical
Institute to manage the MIT Flow Cytometry Core Facility . Stewart
attained an extremely busy schedule in this facility and had valuable
input in much of the flow cytometry performed at MIT, including patented
stem cell isolation techniques, multi-color analysis, cell sorting,
chromosome sorting, and gel microdroplet technology applications.
Although his desire to achieve excellence kept him in the lab for long
hours, he always managed to find time to be with friends at social
gatherings. In Stewart's spare time he could be found in the MIT Student
Center for afternoon tea and also darting about the Charles River in the
small sailboats launched from the Walter C. Wood Sailing Pavilion.
Those of us who knew Stewart remember him as a personable, innovative,
pleasant person, and deeply mourn his passing. Please send your thoughts
and prayers to his wife Nancy and his daughter Tamsen.
With deep regret,
