The passing of Neil Gerhels on Monday the 6th of February 2017 is an immense loss for our scientific community. We have lost not only a great scientist and our best ambassador, but also a friend. Neil has helped us build the SVOM mission and has always shown unwavering support.

With every new burst we think of him, we miss him already…
