LPL mourned the loss this year of dear friend, colleague, and alumna (1997) Elisabetta "Betty" Pierazzo. Betty was a Research Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute. She was also adjunct faculty at LPL, teaching PTYS 214, Astrobiology, on a regular basis. Betty was loved by all who knew her. We feel her loss each day, but remember her friendship, her warm heart, and her vibrant smile.

More information about Betty is available online from PSI and the PSI memorial page, the Arizona Daily Star and a Facebook Memorial Page.
