    Tania supervised me during my degree at UCT in 2007. She was a huge influence in developing my interest in the biomedical field which ultimately led to the direction I took over the last 10 years. Tania had a huge impact on her students.

    The last time, I got to see Tania. Back in 2017 was at Uncle Stan’s 80th birthday party. I’ll remember her as the smart (that is understatement, smiling cousin, was hoping the next time I visit South Africa I would have seen her again. But my...  more

    The two traits about Tania that I most admired were her engaging smile and her ability to make everything she did seem effortless:

    Tania was always smiling, always friendly. I can't think of a single occasion in my many years at UCT that I saw her in a...  more
