Very sad. I know we have a rivalry with UW but she was a brilliant woman who got her dream job at Northwestern just before her diagnosis. I had the pleasure of meeting her on a few occasions and she was kind, modest, and just a pleasure to be around. May she rest in peace and condolences to her family.
Met her a number of times. Though you would think she would come off as a "typical academic," she was funny and personable. They loved her at UW.
Loved her song "Friday"
