    Mercè Durfort Coll was a biologist and a teacher. Devoted heart and soul to science and teaching, she was a kind person who was very curious about the world and stood in scientific awe of the seminal neurobiology work of Santia­go Ramón y Cajal. Moreover, she has been a role model for the students of over forty graduation classes, first at the University of Barcelona’s Faculty of Sciences and subsequently at its Faculty of Biology. She was an honorary mem­ber of the Catalan Society of Biology.
