Veronica-a true giant of 20th

Veronica-a true giant of 20th century and of present

She had a life-long association with the scientific community in India and abroad. She was a true giant of the 20th Century and of present, a legend in the chronicles of scientific research. Her daily commitment to matters of the laboratory, even during her last most painful days -at-large and as an active researcher, was an inspiration to us all. We are proud and fortunate to have benefited from her international acclaim.

For her service to science, to education, and to our nation at the scientific level, we honor Dr. Veronica's distinguished lifetime and will forever treasure her contributions to our institutions and to our lives. We who have been touched by her wisdom, her energy, and her tireless devotion to our profession will miss her.

Veronica gave her magnificent intellect to the students, to the world and her heart and soul to TIFR and NCBS. As a heart winning scientist who revolutionized our understanding of many aspects of science, and as a superb mentor, teacher, laboratory leader, and victor of science education for almost 3 decades, she has earned a proud and permanent place in the TIFR and NCBS history. We will miss her deeply."

We and India has lost a great mind of science. At NCBS we have lost a revered member of our campus family. We cherished Veronica Rodrigues and we will miss her dearly. She had a long and distinguished career not only in science but in education.We consider her, among all to be the most distinguished in the areas of excellence- research, teaching, friendship and to the scientific community. In addition to her role in establishing good Science in TIFR/NCBS, she was also a primary mover behind great explorations in science for young minds.

You tried your best to teach us before you went away,
We now have a better understanding of what you tried to say.
Please always know we love you and no one can take your place,
Tho' many years can come and go your memory will never be erased.
So when each day starts without you, we won't seem so far apart,
Cuz every time we think of you, you will be right here in our heart.
