It seems strange to feel surprised by the news that someone has died just short of his 99th birthday, but that is the sort of person John Bonner was. One of the leading biologists of the 20th century, he remained active until the end. So much so, that he was eagerly awaiting a special issue of the Journal of Experimental Zoology being brought out in his honour1. Fittingly, the finding that made his name had appeared in the same journal in 1947.
