On July 11, 2015, we lost one of the world's leaders and pioneers in space science, Claudia Alexander. I had seen her on the Science Channel a few times talk about planetary evolution and thus was happy to see her familiar face as part of the Rosetta team when it rendezvoused with Comet 67/P. As anyone who follows this blog knows, I actually stay up late for news on Rosetta/Philae. Claudia had a genuineness and grace about her that is a rare gift in the sciences and she will be sorely missed.
Here are a few links for those who want to get to know her a little better.
Google Scholar's listing of her work
Her Own Page (understandably not her first priority)
Her NASA profile
Her LA Times obituary
