With tributes like these, I am thankful for the opportunity to learn more and have a deeper understanding. I have no doubt his pioneering work will continue to touch, educate and inspire for many years to come.<br /><br />My condolences to you and your family.<br /><br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-59796795475466860472015-06-12T14:27:45.872-08:002015-06-12T14:27:45.872-08:00Dr. Ben-Jacob's research is ahead of its time....Dr. Ben-Jacob's research is ahead of its time.

You are right - he ...Aya,<br /><br />my deepest condolences.<br /><br />You are right - he touched many lives - and mine too, in the most incredible way. Our encounter was short, but he was curious, encouraging and motivating.<br /><br />I was so saddened by this news. He was a brilliant scientist, and also a very kind and deeply human person.<br /><br />MartaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-46482547080836884912015-06-12T03:01:13.989-08:002015-06-12T03:01:13.989-08:00I'm Eshel's daughter.

You sent me this link once to his 528 published papers: <a href="http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Eshel_Ben-Jacob/publications" rel="nofollow">Dr. Ben-Jacob Papers</a><br /><br />I'm glad that you had the chance to connect with him and share your ideas. I will never forget that Saturday when he emailed me and said, "Let's talk now on Skype." I was like, 'oh, crap, oh, crap, oh, crap' and sent you like 30 emails to see if you were available. Glad it all worked out. <br /><br />Such a shame, I did not realize he was only 63, much too young.

The rest is art and photoshop.<br /><br />Wiki about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben-Jacob%27s_bacteria" rel="nofollow">Ben-Jacob's bacteria</a><br />"Ben-Jacob's bacteria are two pattern forming social bacteria strains, the Paenibacillus dendritiformis and the Paenibacillus vortex discovered in the early 1990s by Ben-Jacob’s group.
