On 14 December 2022, the JSC scientific community suffered a major loss with the untimely death of Prof. Steve. Brown at the age of 52.

The Japanese Society of Chronobiology (JSC) is saddened to hear about the passing of Professor Steven A. Brown. As a representative of JSC, I would like to send our deepest condolence for the tragedy. Steve was truly a bridge over a long distance between the Japanese chronobiology and not only the EBRS but also the international community of chronobiology. Steve visited Japan so many times and gave inspiring talks everywhere in Japan and had a wide interaction with Japanese chronobiologists. Steve particularly loved the Japanese culture, foods and Sake, and personally I and my family have a joyful and warm memory with him and Patrycja in both Tokyo and Zurich. As a Vice President of EBRS, Steve organized the EBRS congress this year, which we Japanese chronobiologists enjoyed very much. More, I will never forget a wonderful and joyful memory of a one-day-trip with Steve and his beautiful friends to Kandersteg after the congress. At that time, I never imagined such a sad time will come so quickly. Steve! you are with us forever.
