I missed the news about Roger’s passing. I had been waiting for him to weigh in on ChatGPT and all things AI. I just Googled him to see if he’s made comment and was saddened by the search results. Roger has had quite an impact on me with how I think about learning. I happened to be in Singapore in 2015 for the Learn Tech Asia conference. I remember very clearly Roger going rogue and sticking his boot into everything in his opening keynote. That conference has been by far the best that I ever attended. I learned so much. The lineup was great (with yourself included!)
Ben

Elham, if memory serves, you and I dined with him in Singapore, before you started your PhD program!

I remember my first encounter with him at a conference. He had a generous heart to offer me guidance to pursue my doc program and was exceptionally gifted (as you said). It was my plan to be his mentee after I finished my studies. Alas I never got to pursue it! He will be dearly missed and I lost a great opportunity!
