I began working for Dr. P. Michael Conn in his research laboratory in September 1984, and had continued to work with him until his untimely passing in November 2016. Dr. Conn was a superb mentor, friend, and human being. He mentored numerous postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and staff throughout his research career, and, in turn, many of the fellows and students have successful careers and hold Dr. Conn in very high regard.

Dr. Conn was known for his research involving the mechanisms of action of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the pituitary, and therapeutic approaches that restore misfolded protein functioning. He authored and coauthored over 350 publications in his field and wrote and edited over 200 books, including texts in neurosciences, molecular biology, and endocrinology. He was recognized with a MERIT Award of the National Institutes of Health; the J.J. Abel Award of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics; the Weitzman, Oppenheimer, and Ingbar Awards of the Endocrine Society; the Miguel Aleman Prize; Mexicos National Science Medal; and the Stevenson Award of Canada. He was the recipient of the Oregon State Award for Discovery, the Media Award of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, and was named distinguished Alumnus of Baylor College of Medicine in 2012. Dr. Conn served as the editor of numerous professional journals and book series: Endocrinology , Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism , Endocrine , Methods , Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science , and Contemporary Endocrinology . He was an advocate for the value of animal research and the dangers posed by animal extremism. He was the coauthor of The Animal Research War (2008) and wrote many opinion editorials for the public and academic community, which appeared in The Washington Post , The LA Times , The Wall Street Journal , the Des Moines Register , and elsewhere.

I am honored that I spent 32 years learning and working with Dr. Conn, a true friend.

Dr. P. Michael Conn will be sorely missed. Rest in peace my friend!
