Fwd: prize to Leonard Herzenberg

Alice and Mario are right indeed!
It certainly is a great pleasure to hear that Len has been honored  
with the prestigeous Iwamori award for outstanding contribution to  
life science.
Len fully deserves the prize and congratulations not only from all  
the flow cytometry community, but from all the realms of science  
where flow cytometry has played, and keeps playing, a key role.
As Mario said, it has also been a deep pleasure to be part of the lab  
and of the family as well.

All our congratulations to Len, and Lee as well, for a great team  
effort over a lifetime.
