Last year, I was fortunate to sit next to Carol for 2 days at NIH study section. She made an otherwise painful process fun, with a lot of side banter. We will miss her.

I knew Dr. Basbaum by reputation rather than personally. She was a tremendous role model for women in academic medical centers and especially for those involved in pulmonary research. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

To Allan, Katherine, Jesse and Toby - My 50 year friendship with Carol has sadly ended. She was my junior high and high school buddy. We shared so many memories, and I will never forget her. Many knew her as a respected scientist, but to me, she was just "Carol", friend extraordinare. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Katzie.
