The Society is saddened to learn of the death of Peter Mott on 14 March; he was 84. Peter worked at Cambridge University Press and was responsible for overseeing the publication of many journals including The Journal of Physiology and the meetings abstracts. When The Society took over the ailing Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology (now Experimental Physiology), Peter contributed to discussions on the change to monthly publication with a new title and cover design.
