Maria Conceicao (Sao) Carvalho, a longterm scientific visitor to our department, passed away on June 28, 2021 after a long struggle with cancer. Until the last few months, she had maintained the upper hand in this struggle for many years, continuing to live her life fully, including continuing her research program and delivering talks at conferences.
She is survived by her husband, Eric Carlen, and a number of close cousins in Portugal.
