It is with great sadness that we have to report that Professor Brendan Howlin, the current MGMS Treasurer, passed away on 5th August. Brendan had been a member of the Society for many years, for the last six of which he served as Treasurer. He was a distinguished member of staff at the University of Surrey, where his research group pursued a broad range of interests in the field of molecular simulations and computational chemistry, including polymer modelling and drug design. The MGMS would like to offer its deepest condolences to Brendan’s family – he will be very sorely missed as a colleague and a friend.
