Behrakis Auditorium, 1 p.m., October 20, 2023
On behalf of the Department of Development, Molecular and Cellular Biology Tufts University School of Medicine and Andrew’s family we welcome you to this celebration of Dr. Andrew Bohm’s life. Andrew was a beloved faculty member, a dedicated teacher and mentor, and a rigorous and creative researcher. We all miss him very much.
Karl Munger, Ph.D., Chair Department of Development, Molecular and Chemical Biology
The entire family extends our deepest gratitude to Tufts for having this time that we can all come together and mourn Andrew. I know it’s been almost two months, but I believe that everyone is still deeply affected by his loss, and for some of us, the impact is still acutely felt. While we have musical interludes during this program, please feel free to scroll through the Memorial website or sit quietly and reflect on one of the kindest men we’ll ever know.
With gratitude, Celia Harrison
