In Memoriam

“She ultimately shaped the direction of my entire research career by instilling in me a love of spectroscopy and of the physics and logic we use to deduce the composition of the universe.”

 —Anne Jaskot ’08, Williams astronomy professor, on her mentor, Karen Kwitter, the Ebenezer Fitch Professor of Astronomy, emerita, who died in August 2024
