Energy : In memoriam: Millie Dresselhaus. Alternatif Energy
Millie Dresselhaus has passed away at 86. She was a true giant, despite her diminutive stature. I don't think anything I could write would be better than the MIT write-up linked in the first sentence. It was great to have had the opportunity to interact with her on multiple occasions and in multiple roles, and both nanoscience in particular and the scientific community in general will be poorer without her enthusiasm, insights, and mentoring. (One brief anecdote to indicate her work ethic: She told me once that she liked to review on average something like one paper every couple of days.)
