Always chilling on his little chair next to me as I wrote a Master's thesis, a PhD dissertation, and my first grant proposal. Moved with me all over the country as the career required such mobility. And stayed my loyal friend for 15 years, through many personal hardships. I'm so grateful, Gilbi 💔

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for an opportunity to meet my international peers and friends again, so that list already has a huge PRO 🫠 #ICA
