It was an absolute pleasure to speak at Plant Energy Management meeting in Montpellier (PEM26) last week. Such exciting science and an amazing atmosphere! I am going back to the lab with lots of new ideas. A great thanks to the organizers.

My PhD mentor and scientific dad, Prof. Gad Galili, passed away yesterday. He was instrumental in shaping me into the scientist I am today. On top of raising us to be good scientists, he emphasized the importance of being good people in this crazy profession. I am very sad and forever grateful.
