We bid farewell to Michael Ashburner, a distinguished biologist and an unwavering advocate for open science. Ashburner, a pioneering figure in genetics, bioinformatics, and the OBO Foundry, passed away on July 10, 2023, at 81. His visionary leadership at EMBL-EBI left an indelible mark on bioinformatics. He sequenced the Drosophila genome, co-founding FlyBase and shaping ontologies like GO and ChEBI. Advocating for open science, he championed genome accessibility and open publishing. Honored with awards such as the Gregor Mendel Medal, his legacy inspires future scientists. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.
