摘要
Larry Machlin had many and varied interests in nutrition in general and antioxidants in particular. Although he was interested primarily in vitamin E, he shared a curiosity about the actions of carotenoids that most nutritionists have. He served on the Organizing Committee of the 8th International Symposium on Carotenoids that was held in Boston in June 1987. In that role, he was an active participant in helping to select sessions and then identifying the speakers who spoke at those sessions. As part of that Organizing Committee, I had the opportunity to grasp his breadth of science and his knowledge about the most current work, even in fields in which he was not directly involved. His loss has been felt, not only for his scientific contributions but also the warmth and kindness of his personality.

拉里·马赫林（Larry Machlin）对营养有很多不同的兴趣，尤其是抗氧化剂。尽管他主要对维生素E感兴趣，但他对大多数营养学家所具有的类胡萝卜素的作用抱有好奇心。他曾参加1987年6月在波士顿举行的第八届类胡萝卜素国际研讨会组委会。在该职位上，他积极参与帮助选择会议，然后确定在这些会议上发言的发言人。作为组委会的一员，我有机会掌握他的科学广度和他对最新作品的了解，甚至在他没有直接参与的领域。他的失落不仅体现在他的科学贡献上，也体现在他个性的温暖和善良上。
