Er branden 101 kaarsen

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our cherished colleague, Joanna Aldred. Joanna was an incredible lady whose kindness, willingness to help others, and unwavering support left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She was not just a colleague but a beloved friend who dedicated over 34 years to Elsevier in academic publishing.
Joanna’s journey began in the Earth Sciences department as a Desk Editor during a time when our industry was on the brink of transformation. As the digital revolution unfolded, she embraced change and grew into the role of Journal Manager, always eager to learn and adapt. Her career took a significant turn in 2006 with a six-month secondment in Publishing, and from that moment on, she became an integral part of STMJ team.
For many years, Joanna was a driving force behind the Current Opinion journals in Green and Sustainable Chemistry. Her extensive knowledge, dedication, and collaborative spirit made her a cornerstone of our team.
Beyond her professional achievements, Joanna was also deeply involved in the RELX SDG Resource Centre and served as a compassionate listener for Mindlife. Her gentle demeanor, customer-centric approach, and exceptional problem-solving skills have left a lasting impact on everyone she worked with. We will profoundly miss her wisdom, warmth, and the generosity she brought into our lives.
Joanna was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Our hearts go out to her sons, Alexander and Eduard, her daughter-in-law, Demi, her grandson Evan, and her wider family. We also extend our condolences to her Current Opinion colleagues, her Journal Development and Editor Engagement Center of Expertise colleagues, and the Flex team, all of whom have lost a long-standing and valued member of their teams. Joanna was always willing to share her vast knowledge and expertise, and her absence will be felt deeply.
