“I hope you now see that for the sacrifices and advancements she made that still affect our lives today, Doctor Mary “Tangle” Chin Po Pin fully deserves her place as one of the most well-known scientists in Spindle's history. That's all I have time for today, as there are so many more researchers to cover, but if you'd be interested in learning more about Dr Tangle's life and research, I'll be following up in more detail in a separate lecture series starting next month. Thank you for your attention, I hope to see you there.”

— from Lives of the Scientists, a public lecture series by Professor Bismuth Silver

Prof. Bismuth Silver Faded in the early hours of yesterday morning.

The earliest records of his work at the NFWS state that he was a prolific explorer and lecturer, expert in a great many fields and author of some most influential papers.

But he was most widely known, and remembered, as a teacher of history, and author of Spindle’s most comprehensive record of the Tarot Crisis. Despite being one of the primary record-keepers of the time, details of his own life are remarkably scarce. Even when asked directly about himself, he always found a way to talk about one of his many other friends, acquaintances, or colleagues: instrumental Muses who lived before and during that tumultuous time.

An inspiring teacher and selfless friend. He will be missed.
