It is with sadness that we announce the passing of one of the founder members of the Editorial Board of this journal, Ronald Leslie Bell (Fig. 1). As his Ph.D. students and colleagues, we felt it was important to record this obituary in the Journal to which he gave so much. It is not always recognised that the Journal of Materials Science, founded in 1966, was one of the first initiatives in the recognition and identity of the Materials Science discipline worldwide, from its roots in metallurgy and more specialised materials subjects. In this discipline, Ron Bell played an important part, as a member of an Editorial Board covering the wide range of materials that we know today. The first Chairman of the Editorial Board was Robert Cahn, Ron’s Ph.D. supervisor at Birmingham University. The other members of the Board, all from the UK, and their fields of expertise, were Ron, for metals and semiconductors, Freddy Clarke (Harwell) for ceramics, Andrew Keller (Bristol University) for polymers, Peter McMillan (English Electric) for glass and glass ceramics, and Geoffrey Sims (Southampton University) for electronic engineering. Figure 1 Ron Bell in 2007–2012.
