e., when the transition to the AMS 14 C analysis using MICADAS took place, Georges performed the demanding tuning of the EN 6 MV tandem for 14 C analysis and data reduction. These would take place every 4 to 6 weeks, the time that Georges filled with talking to users, sampling unique objects and working on data, and sending the letters with results. His perfectly organized files are still my source of information whenever data produced 30 years ago has to be revisited. But the list of his involvement in our laboratory life is not ending there. He was always helpful with any questions. His problem-solving skills, so prominent with the EN tandem tuning, were appreciated in the group, and everyone could always count on his friendly support even with everyday issues. Simultaneously, Dr. Bonani was one of the most cited scientists at ETH when the citation index started to be an important issue in the late 1990s. His involvement in studies which employed 14 C dating was not only by providing the AMS analysis. Georges was actively involved in data analysis and interpretation of the results. Often, he was also involved in designing the sampling strategies and supported experimental and pioneering approaches such as dating pollen grains
