Howard B. Eichenbaum died in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 21, 2017, at age 69, following recent spine surgery. His official titles were William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Director of the Center for Memory and Brain at Boston University. But he was known more broadly as one of the world’s leading lights in the study of memory and the brain, whose scientific achievements, advocacy and leadership in the field, and openness and generosity in his thinking and his interactions with younger scholars were all parts of the tremendous impact he had on science. His untimely passing is a significant loss to the neuroscience community, but his influence on an entire generation of memory researchers will continue to resonate.
