At the beginning of December I made the trip to Bordeaux to participate in a 2-day symposium that brought together many of the authors who contributed to the NJC issue in honor of Didier Astruc.
Former co-workers, current colleagues, friends from around the world were there, including Prof. Hiroshi Nishihara (who incidentally provided the artwork for the inside front cover to accompany his article in the October issue) and Dr. Yves Chauvin, who spoke at the presentation of this NJC issue to Didier.
