“I shall miss Anya, she was one of a kind. I take comfort in knowing how much she loved so many aspects of her life: her family, her friends and colleagues, her wonderful work with students in her job. I met her when she was a graduate student seeking advice on a fellowship proposal, and I immediately felt the warmth and talent of a very special person.”
