THE PASSING OF DR. HOMER LEBARON
Jun. 22, 2012
CropLife America (CLA) reports:
We received the terrible news early this week that Dr. Homer LeBaron of Syngenta has passed.
He was Senior Research Fellow in Biochemistry and New Technology and Basic Research Departments, where he coordinated and directed outside basic research on all CIBA-GEIGY agricultural products.
Dr. LeBaron served as president of three national weed science societies.
Recipient of several professional awards, he was the first agricultural scientist from industry to receive the Charles A. Black Award from CAST for his contributions in promoting sound science and public understanding of agriculture. He is the author or co-author of 90 scientific publications, including six books and multiple special reports.
Homer was an amazing person and an inspiring leader; our sympathies go out to his family and colleagues.
