Hans-Joachim Pflüger – scientist, citizen, cosmopolitan.

This loss of our close friend and honorable companion has struck us unexpectedly, because Jochen was highly active, full of infectious energy and exciting future projects. Jochen - beyond the bench Jochen was that kind of German university faculty member who was of the strong belief that universities and research institutions need people to actively "run the show" and to assume ownership in building a high-quality professional environment for all other staff associates. In doing so, Jochen contributed to the development of neurobiology and biology at the FU Berlin in serving his I alma mater i in various administrative roles, for example, as Managing Director of the Institute of Neurobiology, as Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Chemistry and Biology and as an elected member in the FU Senate. Far too early has our colleague, Professor Hans-Joachim ' I Jochen i ' Pflüger, passed away on January 25, 2022, only 72 years old. [Extracted from the article]
