I knew Nechama from meeting her at many Polychaete Conferences, in many countries over the years, and from correspondence. I am very sad to hear of her passing. She was the most passionately determined researcher, fully committed to all her interests. Her work on serpuliforms and on Lessepsian migration will endure
