Ricardo J. Guta, our beloved colleague and friend, was yesterday laid to rest in Beira, Mozambique. Ricardo, a new PhD student in the Honeyguide Research Project, tragically died on 1 Dec. We miss him dearly. His legacy of kindness, optimism & passion for science will live on

During the last 4 months of 2021 my colleagues (Steye Verhoeve) and I set up a collection of resources for MSc students at Earth Sciences - Utrecht University to help them train their (soft) skills. It's open access and hopefully of use to others out there too: skillsearthsciences.sites.uu.nl
