Seymour "Gig" Levine

My condolences to the family. Gig was a great contributor to the intellectual life of our department.

It was a great pleasure knowing Dr. Levine in his capacity of IRB member on the UC Davis board. He served with passion and dedication. His contributions to the scientific review of research and the protection of human subjects were greatly valued. As a person, he was very warm, kind and consciencious. It was such a pleasure knowing him. I will miss him dearly. May God bless him and his family.

Gig was a wonderful person who gave so much to the life of this university, and especially to the neuroscience community. His impact on the Center for Neuroscience and the Neuroscience Graduate Program was large. I got to know him after he invited my lab to present at a Neurolunch event, which he led, and talked with him often thereafter when we ran across one another at the Neuroscience retreat and in our own Center for Mind and Brain where he was a regular visitor. He was a kind soul and it...

With great sadness, we lose a trusted friend, a major scientist and a remarkable individual. Au Revoir mon ami. You will live in my memory.

Gig was one of the strongest scientific and academic influences for me and other neuroscience graduate students at the University of Delaware. His scientific rigor mixed with grandfatherly warmth made him an inspiration to us all. He has driven me to professional excellence while keeping in mind the importance of a humane and philosophical approach to my craft. He will be dearly remembered and missed. My condolences and greatest sentiments to his wonderful wife Barbara and children.
