The staff at the Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection (J Microbiol Immunol Infect) are very saddened at the loss of Professor John David Williams, who has been an international advisory board member of our journal since 2002. Professor Williams' contributions to the review of research and in advising our journal were very important to achieving the objectives of all of the societies that came together to establish the J Microbiol Immunol Infect.
