Maria Flytzani-Stephanopoulos, 69, died on Oct. 28, 2019, in Boston.

“Miretta was an incredible scientist, someone who reached the pinnacle of our profession, but what I remember most about her is how much she cared about everything she did: nothing was ever half-hearted. And she cared most about people—her family, friends, colleagues, and students. One of our last conversations had to do with science as an endeavor to make lives better, and how that starts with educating people.”—Kyongbum Lee, friend and colleague
