We are all better scientists because of Trevor Thorpe. We are all standing on his shoulders. We now have the commission to carry on his science legacy. Finally, in dedication to Trevor, I am also pleased to announce that Springer has agreed to make this tribute article free to access for the first two months of it appearing online. Respectfully, David Songstad, PhD, Editor-in-Chief In Vitro Cellular and Developmental Biology – Plant
