We are sad to pass on the news that Uri Shmueli, Professor Emeritus at Tel Aviv University, Israel, died on 15 February 2023. An excellent scientist, Professor Shmueli had a long-standing association with the IUCr as Editor of International Tables Volume B: Reciprocal space. His interest in crystallographic statistics and teaching spawned two books in the IUCr/OUP Book Series: Introduction to Crystallographic Statistics (with George H. Weiss) and Theories and Techniques of Crystal Structure Determination. An obituary will be published in due course.
