Some sad news to forward. Just seeing his name recalls Jack Cowan's
sly smile and wit, and he always had the best stories.

Subject: [ICMNS] Jack Cowan’s obituary

Dear All,

Today I have receved the sad news that Jack Cowan, a foundational
figure in mathematical neuroscience, passed away recently.

A family obituary is available at:
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/legacyremembers/jack-cowan-obituary?id=58764111

Hugh Wilson and others are currently preparing a scientific obituary
celebrating Cowan's life and scientific achievements, which will be
published in Biological Cybernetics.

For those who wish to share personal reminiscences or memories,
Professor Peter Thomas (pjthomas at case.edu) has kindly offered to
collect and compile these tributes.

Sincerely,

Daniele Avitabile
