Re: Sad news - Ralph Wijers

[Benito Marcote]

Hola a todos,

Tristemente, traemos noticias desafortunadas dado que Ralph Wijers, profesor de la Universidad de Ámsterdam, nos ha dejado hace unos días.

Creo que un gran número de vosotros lo conoceréis en su larga carrera, sobre todo en GRBs, y como director del Anton Pannekoek Institute durante mucho años.

Un saludo,

Benito.

  Dear colleagues,

It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that our dear colleague, former director, and friend prof.dr. Ralph Wijers passed away yesterday.

Not fully unexpected, but during the last few weeks his condition worsened rapidly. We wish his wife Astrid, their daughters Nastasha and Naomi, family and friends all the strength to cope with this great loss.

With best regards,

Lex.
