Obituary by ISCE

(Park, Baker, and Zhu)




Professor Kyung-Saeng Boo was one of the founding members of the Asia-Pacific Association of Chemical Ecologists (APACE) and was APACE 4th president from 2005 to 2007. He was instrumental along with other founders to establish the APACE in 1997 immediately after the 3rd Asia-Pacific Conference of Entomology in Taichung, Taiwan. As a result of these pioneering efforts, chemical ecology has continued to grow and flourish in the Asia-Pacific region.

  Prof. Boo is now resting in peace. It is our job to keep his spirit alive and continue to perform inspiring research so that the wonderful world of insect chemical communication can be enjoyed from generation to generation.
