## What Jamie wrote

We lost John Conway to Covid-19 this week. He was a brilliant math mind. Also read this [writeup by Terence Tao](https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2020/04/12/john-conway/). Conway created [Conway's Game of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life), and XKCD did a wonderful tribute to him too,[RIP John Conway](https://m.xkcd.com/2293/). 😢
