[MARMAM] Planned Tribute to Dr. Jeanette Thomas

[Kathleen M. Dudzinski]

Dear Colleagues,

It is with sadness that I write regarding the sudden recent death of our 
colleague Dr. Jeanette Thomas. To quote another colleague, Jeanette had much 
energy, sympathy, and intellectual, administrative, and personal strength. She 
will be greatly missed.

A brief announcement of Jeanette’s death is on the WIU web site: 
http://www.wiu.edu/news/newsrelease.php?release_id=15673 


Aquatic Mammals journal will include a Tribute to Jeanette in our next issue 
(44.5, to be published online on September 15, 2018). 
The editorial team at Aquatic Mammals will coordinate with her colleagues at 
WIU and her family for a biographical tribute to Jeanette. Following this essay 
about her life, we would like to include tributes from any colleague who would 
like to share a memory about Jeanette, thoughts about their interactions (as 
student, colleague, friend) with her, and/or thought(s) about what Jeanette 
contributed to the field of marine mammal science. We will include your tribute 
with your name and affiliation (as you provide it). 

To be included in this Tribute to be published on September 15, the journal 
needs to receive your comments, thoughts, memory’s by August 21st. Tributes 
received after August 21st will be included in a supplemental file online that 
will be linked back to the published tribute. If possible, please keep your 
tributes to ~1000 words (longer tributes may be included in the online 
supplemental file). 

Please send your tributes to the journal by email 


We will celebrate Jeanette’s vibrant attitude toward life and her significant 
contributions to our field of study and also to our lives. My career is much 
better and more diverse for not only having known Jeanette but also for having 
had the opportunity to work with her.

Thank you.
Best
Kathleen
