So very sad! Brian was a great guy, a good friend and a sterling science communicator. A great loss to us all.

For the ISEN community:

As of this writing, it appears that Brian Taylor, the former Director of Science Alive, died in the CTV building collapse in Christchurch.  Brian was a good friend and mentor to me, and I had the privilege of working with him at ASTC and National Association of Science Writers meetings.  His death has not been confirmed, but the building was considered unsurvivable due to the collapse and fire.  Hoping this is proved wrong.
