Our colleague Lu�s Carneiro died, struck by lightning,during a birdwatching expedition to Georgia and Turkeyon the afternoon of 12 September 2002. He was togetherwith Jos� Pedro Tavares (RSPB) and another Portuguesefriend in the mountains of Georgia when they were caughtby a storm and sought shelter in a mountain refuge hut.There was another group of locals already there and theconversation had started. As usual Luis was talking overeverybody describing all the new bird species he had justadded to his beloved tick list. And then it happened... So,apparently Luis died having a good time and doingsomething he loved.
Lu�s was finishing his PhD thesis on the role of AVTin the expression of alternative reproductive tactics inblenniid fish and he had collaborated in a number of other
projects going on in the laboratory. As a graduate studenthe had already co-authored over ten refereed papers(including one in Nature) and given several talks ininternational meetings. He had recently been electedSecretary of the Portuguese Ethological Society, and wasa student member of other scientific societies includingthe Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour, theSociety for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology, the Societyfor Neuroscience and the International Society forBehavioral Ecology.
But more than a PhD student with a promising career,Lu�s was a beloved friend and his humor and attitudetowards life made him the soul of our laboratory. Thelaboratory (and in fact nothing) will ever be the samewithout him around. But we believe that for those of youthat ever met him he will stay in our hearts (neocortexLu�s would point out) as an example of how intensivelylife can and should be lived. Lu�s leaves a wife (Patricia)and a 2.5-year-old daughter (Constan�a).

From a mourning laboratory.
