If I were fortunate enough to be so remembered

Category: AcademiaBlogging communityDeathPersonal
Posted on: September 18, 2008 7:40 AM, by Abel Pharmboy

Tom Levenson at The Inverse Square blog recently lost his uncle and godfather, Daniel D Levenson.

I've been lucky enough to meet Tom once and yet he still answers my e-mails. Beyond his current position as a prof in the MIT Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies, Tom is a prolific author and award-winning producer of several science documentaries.

This is what you get when a professional writer lovingly remembers a wonderful and influential man whose suffering has finally ended.

Tom asks that Uncle Dan be remembered by a memorial donation to Mazon.
