Remembering Henry Reiswig - the sponge specialist

Published: 7 July 2020

Henry Reiswig, the former Biology professor and curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the Redpath Museum, died on July 4, 2020. You can read his obituary :

His daughter聽Amy says: "He died in his lab in the garage, with microscope slides on the warmer, doing what he loved: science."聽

Henry worked at the Redpath Museum from 1972聽until his official retirement in 2001. He then moved to Victoria, BC, where he continued his "retirement" at the Royal British Columbia Museum (RBCM) and as an Adjunct Professor with University of Victoria. In 2015聽his聽SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) photos were featured in a special exhibit at the RBCM.聽
