My Take
Deborah S. Jin commands nothing but admiration from me. A physicist born in Stanford, she created the first fermionic condensate, a genuine frontier of cold-atom science, and her trophy case, MacArthur Fellowship, the L'Oréal-UNESCO award, the Isaac Newton Medal, reads like a roll call of the field's highest honors. She was widely seen as a future Nobel laureate, which makes her death in 2016 at just 47 feel like a real loss to science. Carving a path at the very front of physics, as a woman, took extraordinary force of will. I quietly take my hat off to her; gone far too soon.
