We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Michael H. Brodsky, past president of AOAC INTERNATIONAL and environmental microbiologist. Michael was a valued leader whose dedication shaped our organization’s history. He had been a member of AOAC since 1983 and served as president in 2000-2001. The next issue of Inside Laboratory Management will include a feature on him. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues during this sad time.
