Thank you, Ellis !

Dear Ellis,

I have the pleasure and the honour to work with you at LCR during 3 years.

Your passion for science, as your ability to mentor and develop others, were two sides of you that I always admired, the same way that I particularly enjoyed you very English sense of humour.

This sense of humour was a great contribution to the team. The same way that, being the only non-native French speakers in the team, we tried to drive the EdD to conduct the meetings in English. We never won that battle, but we made tremendous progress.

And as all my memories of you bring that humour component within, I've chosen this picture of an enjoyable evening where a group of friends gather to thank you and wish you all the best in a new phase of your life. 

​

Ellis, Thanks for those memories, that I will cherish forever.

And as I believe that from here in Argentina, I won't have a chance to do it personally, let me express my deepest condolences to your family. Even in pain, they have, as we all, many reasons to be proud of you.

Carlos Espina
