note = "Funding Information: This Special Issue, “Marine Mammal Sensory Systems” is derived from a workshop entitled “Sensory Ecology in Marine Mammals” held as part of the World Marine Mammal Science Conference held in Barcelona, Spain, in pre‐Covid 2019 (another world!). The workshop was planned, organized, and shepherded by Sherri Eldridge (Figure 1 ) with the assistance of Joy Reidenberg of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York and Frederike Hanke of the University of Rostock, Germany (Reidenberg \& Hanke, 2022 ). Most tragically, Sherri died some months after the Symposium and during the write up phase of the manuscripts. JL was fortunate to meet and work with Sherri when served as a sponsor for the Workshop, its events, and planning for the segue to this Special Issue. To those of us who knew her, Sherri was a fascinating and ebullient “energizer” who added warmth, excitement, and enthusiasm to every encounter. She was actually a late arrival to the world of marine mammalogy, having only recently finished her PhD in 2018. Sherri was a Guest Investigator at The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution at the time of her death, working in the laboratory of noted scientist Michael Moore under a recently received National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Prior to answering the lure of the sea, Sherri was an internationally acclaimed chef and cookbook author, having written well‐known books (including one of JL's favorites, ; Eldridge, 1997 ). She was, indeed, a Renaissance person of enormous depth; our world is much saddened by her absence.
