It is with profound sadness that we say goodbye to Prof. Fabia Franco, our dear colleague and head of the MCCLab. Fabia died peacefully earlier this year after a short illness. Her legacy and impact in the fields of developmental and music psychology will endure..

Her enthusiasm and passion for this work was inspiring – she truly cared about making a difference in the world, and her legacy will continue to inspire and guide us. Fabia was an exceptional mentor to all of us in the MCC lab, and she will be sorely missed.
