“Dr. Ahnen is a great role model. I will always remember the first time I met him when I had just started my career – despite all of his work and his stature in this field, he introduced himself to me at one of our large GI conferences and discussed the research I was presenting like we were equals.  This made a huge impression on me and was so welcoming for someone just starting in this field. In the years since I realized how everyone that had worked or collaborated with him had similar feelings about him. He will be missed.” -Peter Stanich
