George E. Seidel Jr. died in the early morning hours of September 4, 2021 with his family by his side.
George was many things to many people. He was well-known for his scientific contributions and as being a kind friend and colleague who always had an open door. He was most proud of being a dairyman, which influenced his approach to life and set the stage for many of his most highly regarded scientific contributions.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Professor Twink (WR) Allen, who died in Dubai on 6 June 2021 after a very short illness.
Twink will be forever remembered as a pre-eminent pioneering scientist in equine reproduction who has also significantly influenced how breeding mares are clinically managed. These scientific achievements were matched by his enthusiastic, determined and hard-working approach consistently applied in his endeavour to search for new knowledge.
