Farewell to a great scientist: Claudia Alexander (1959 – 2015)

OASIS is saddened by the recent passing of a great scientist, Dr. Claudia Alexander, planetary scientist at JPL.  You can read about her extraordinary life at http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-0719-claudia-alexander-20150718-story.html

Quote from Robert Gounley, OASIS Membership Director and JPL scientist:

“Claudia’s intelligence, enthusiasm, and glowing smile made her a joy to
work with.  Time and again, I saw assemble her fellow scientists into
effective teams that accomplished great things.  She will be missed.”

In Claudia’s memory, her brother created a memorial fund that will
continue her work encouraging students to pursue STEM careers

Please share this with anyone who’d like to help a new generation reach
for the stars.
