Albert Hofmann: January 11, 1906 - April 29, 2008
Albert Hofmann passed away at 9am
on Tuesday April 29, 2008
at the age of 102.
"Albert Hofmann was born in Baden, Switzerland in 1906. He graduated from the University of Zürich with a degree in chemistry in 1929 and went to work for Sandoz Pharmaceutical in Basel, Switzerland. With the laboratory goal of working towards isolation of the active principles of known medicinal plants, Hofmann worked with Mediterranean squill (Scilla maritima) for several years, before moving on to the study of Claviceps purpurea (ergot) and ergot alkaloids."

Even though his 'problem child'
will always be playing amongst us,
he will be missed - with a tear, with a smile.
