Dear Colleagues,
to Martin's news, unfortunately - one more sad message that I received during my leave, thus I think that this information has already reached some of you, however, I pass it on. This is all the more sad for chironomidologists from Poland, Łódź, but also from Gdańsk. Professor Maria Grzybkowska was the author and the reviewer of a number of works on Chironomidae, including my doctoral dissertation. Later, Maria was my sincere colleague, with whom the exchange of thoughts at meetings, calls, or in correspondence, for over 20 years, always inspired...

1928 - 10 July 2023
Yesterday I received the sad news that Mauri Hirvenoja from Finland, one of the longest-standing members of our research community, passed away on 10 July 2023. So far, I have not received any further details that could be communicated here.
The "Bibliography of the Chironomidae" (https://literature.vm.ntnu.no/Chironomidae/) contains references to 36 works authored or coauthored by Hirvenoja between 1960 and 2015. His magnum opus, the 1973 revision of Cricotopus and neighboring genera, a more than 350 pages strong result of his doctoral dissertation, is likely to be remembered as one of the peak efforts in the chironomid literature.
