In her later life, she resided mostly in Canada where she completed her undergraduate and doctoral studies at the University of Toronto until she relocated to England.

==Biography==
===Early life===
Hone-Buske was born to Nair Carmen Buske, a Brazilian businesswoman, and Leo den Hartog, a Dutch merchant mariner, at Moinhos de Vento hospital in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

Due to her upbringing, She spoke fluent Portuguese, Dutch, English, and German.
===Education===
H.B.Sc. in Biology, 2007, University of Toronto, Erindale College.
Ph.D. in Behavioural Neuroscience, 2013, University of Toronto, School of Graduate Studies. Thesis title: Zebrafish Shoaling Behavior: Its Development, Quantification, Neuro-chemical Correlates, and Application in a Disease Model.
===Career===
Hone-Buske was an active researcher starting as an undergraduate student. Immediately after graduate school, she joined Springer Nature in 2013 as a member of the Papers document referencing software team. She then worked on a similar software team for Elsevier before joining CrossRef were she worked until her passing.
Hone-Buske also created web content., and did voiceover direction in advertising on a part time basis.
===Marriage and children===
She married David Hone, a British paleontologist, in 2018 and remained so until her death.
She had no children.
===Death===
Hone-Buske died May 22, 2019 at an Amsterdam hospital after an intense battle with esophageal cancer. She was a non-smoker and 35 years old. These two factors that likely caused medical professionals to overlook cancer as a cause when she began experiencing discomfort with eating earlier in 2018.
