" "I did not know She died,but i opened the 110 club where It said She died and i though It was fake,i was having a panic Attack cause She seemed strong,when i checked on Google "Maria branyas morera"It said She died August 19 2024,i am gonna cry" "Nooo!!! Please someone tell me that this is not really happening, I want to believe that this is fake news... I am in Shock and on the verge of tears right now!!!! I refuse to believe this happened.. The entire World should be in mourning for 2 weeks with this horrible news, Maria Branyas is in my thoughts right now."

    Nah, Itooka is extremely frail. She survived a cerebral hemorrhage at 113 and has been in failing health since.

    P. Susheela discharged, "hale and happy", "routine check up", "don't believe rumours", etc etc.

    Just six left from the 00s. Maybe some more out there (I'd be surprised if there's really no one from China), but the last survivor will probably be among these six. Makes no much sense to talks about their health at this age, they are all terminally ill. I guess the 00s will be extinguished by the end of 2026 or mid-2027.

    The 100 Club

    Chinese journalist and dissident Qian Liren turns 100. Permanently hospitalised and suffering from dementia. His birthday is being celebrated by state run media, despite his role as a dissenter during Tienanmen protests, which got him sacked. Not the first time it happens with dissidents, I guess it's their way of saying "you were right" without explicitly admitting it.
  15. Le Monde obit for Cartier. A member of the legendary Bourbaki group. From the names within the first generations only Jacques Dixmier (1924) and the formidable Jean-Pierre Serre (1926) are still alive. The later members include a lot of youngsters with the exceptions of Hyman Bass (1932) and Michel Demazure (1937).

    Yes, the way he treated his illegitimate son is the only thing I really despise about him.

    Françoise Hardy was pretty right wing too, albeit more supportive of Macron.

    The Dead of 2024

    Today we mourn a man whose beauty was perfect, almost annoying. This was a curse for him, as he seemed destined to remain a handsome vegetable, without the possibility of having a career or develope a personality on his own. Only thanks to his outstanding abilities, he managed to become a global icon and a beloved face everywhere in the world. From humble starts, he rose to the presidency of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1987, and was one of the leading physicists of his generation. We'll miss you, Zhou Guangzhao.

    Academic Footnotes

    With the death of Zhou Guangzhao, only two scientists from the "Two Bombs, One Satellite" program are alive: Wang Xiji (1921) and Sun Jiadong (1929). Wang has been in extremely failing health for years, don't know about Sun, but he has not shown up in a while.
