The Society has heard with sadness of the death of member Michael Snow on 26 June 2020 at the age of 85. Developing surgical skills in cardiovascular function as a technician at Leeds General Infirmary, he completed a PhD in 1969 with Ron Linden at the Cardiovascular Unit at the University of Leeds. Moving in 1974 to the Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) Pharmaceuticals Division, his large mammal experience contributed to the development of a wide range of anti-hypertensive drugs. In 1993, Mike relocated to the University of Cork with an honorary professorship, which enabled his continuing passion for horses, hunting and point-to-point racing. Mike Snow became a member of The Society in 1974 and a Fellow in 2016. He was awarded the Conway Medal of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland in 2003.
