Great post. I had the privilege of learning and working with many of them. For example, for me Martha Pelaez Phd is continues to be my mentor and "academic mum."
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a great deal to know the piece resonated with you. Honoring those still with us—and remembering those who came before—feels like both a responsibility and a gift.
What a lovely tribute to kind and thoughtful people. Konrad was a giant in health — with a robust Australian sense of humour. I don't believe that my name belongs on your pages Jane — but thank you for the reminder that the kindness we have received from others must be multiplied often before we complete our life's work.
Konrad truly was a giant, with an unmistakably Australian humour. As for you—yes, you absolutely belong on those pages. You’ve been a guiding light to so many, not just through your work but through your presence, your generosity, and your deep sense of integrity.
With thanks for your thoughts, and I look forward to further conversations

So beautifully written, I’ve learned a lot by reading and re-reading your memories and taking note to honor those still with us. Thank you.
