Thank-you for the eloquent tribute to our dear classmate Veronica. We were only able to reconnect in recent months after a lapse of more than four decades. Through school, V was always enthusiastic, warm, supportive and often very funny. She was quietly and elegantly ambitious and truly a source of inspiration and wisdom. I feel quite proud to read of her numerous achievements in the scientific world and beyond and with her personal qualities - a true legend! Long live her legacy. My deep sympathy to her family, friends and colleagues.
