A couple of years ago, I was asked to research two benches by the lake. I wrote about what I found in Chronicles...
Since then, another bench appeared nearby, with inscriptions in English, Greek and Italian. These are dedicated to Elizabeth Caon, a young [researcher] who died two years ago.
I said I would try to find out something about the new bench...

Obituary for Elisabetta Caon.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the profoundly tragic news of the untimely passing of Dr Elisabetta Caon on July 24th, 2023.

In 2017, Elisabetta joined us at the Institute for Liver and Digestive Health, University College London, UK as a young and promising MSc student in Industrial Biotechnologies, from the University of Padua, Italy, to undertake an Erasmus+ Student Mobility Traineeship.
Elisabetta's dynamic nature were undeniable. This was further exemplified when she was awarded the prestigious Juan Rodés PhD Fellowship by the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), a distinction that allowed her to extend her studies in our team.
Elisabetta's endeavours knew no bounds, as she presented her ground-breaking findings in esteemed international meetings including the International Liver Congress (ILC - EASL), the Liver Meeting (American Association for the Study of Liver Disease - AASLD), European Club for Liver Cell Biology (ECLCB), and the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society World Congress (TERMIS).
On the 28th of June 2023, Elisabetta was awarded her PhD, Doctor in Philosophy. What began as a junior fellow blossomed into an independent investigator, ready to embrace her first post-doctoral role.
Elisabetta was a kind, bright and caring person, with a strong resilience and a great heart for all her colleagues and collaborators. Elisabetta will be greatly missed, a great loss to everybody who knew her, it was a privilege to work with Elisabetta. As we navigate this sad time, our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies extend to Elisabetta's family, her partner, and friends.
