Some of you will have known and respected Alice Wain, young
petrographer-petrologist of extraordinary talent and promise, and
discoverer of more new coesite occurrences than almost anyone else.
You will be shocked and saddened to hear that on Wednesday she lost her
life when the Land Rover in which she was travelling (on field work for
BGS) left the road and plunged into a ravine somewhere near Speyside in
central Scotland.
No more details available as yet.
