I am very saddened to learn of Denis's passing. He was my doctoral supervisor, my doctor father as the Germans say. He was unlike any other supervisor. He was so curious and interested in all aspects of culture! I think that during my thesis, we spent more time talking about the Stones, Pushkin, and enology than about research :-) He was a true scholar, in the tradition of the philosophers of the Enlightenment, a species that unfortunately has become rare in the academic world. He pushed me to break boundaries and mix scientific disciplines. He also introduced me to the Crème de la Crème of social psychology. I don't know his wife and daughter, but my thoughts go out to them. If you are reading these words, I would like you to know that Denis has been a great influence in my life and my career and that I am very moved today.
