What a privilege it’s been to have had Prof Este as my supervisor and mentor. She’s had a major impact on my career and the person I am today. I did not plan to become a scientist, but I am a scientist because of her. She made science fun and I have so many fond memories of research projects with Prof Este. She gave me numerous opportunities, she trusted me and believed in me and stretched me to take on tasks that I did not know I could achieve, but she knew I could. She taught me the importance of contributing to and supporting our science community. Because of her and what she instilled in me as a young scientists, I believe that I’ve been able to impact other’s careers, create opportunities for others and support my science community. She was brilliant, inspiring, a visionary leader and a great role model. The world will be poorer without her. But as Johann mentioned, she is probably already designing the perfect experiment in ‘heaven’, solving the world’s problems using state-of-the art technologies. Prof Este was truly a legend in Nutrition!
