With great sadness we report to the Center Fellowship that Daniela Bailer-Jones has succumbed in her long struggle with cancer. The following announcement (with our translation following) appears on the website of the Philosophical Seminar of her University of Heidelberg. Das Philosophische Seminar trauert um Daniela Bailer-Jones, die in der Nacht zum 13. November verstorben ist. Sie gehörte unserm Seminar als Privatdozentin und Leiterin ihrer Emmy-Noether- Nachwuchsforschungsgruppe an.
