Gilbert Stork, professor emeritus at Columbia University, died on October 21, 2017 at the age of 95. Stork will be remembered as one of the greatest practitioners of the art of organic synthesis. He achieved landmark successes in simple and elegant total syntheses in virtually every natural product class: terpenes, alkaloids, prostaglandins, macrolides, and tetracyclines.
