We are deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic death of Professor Maria Bitner-Glindzicz yesterday in a cycling accident. She was a much loved and hugely respected member of our ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ community.

Her death is an enormous loss. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and colleagues. We kindly request their privacy is respected at this very difficult time.
