This is an announcement for the paper "Separated sequences in uniformly convex Banach spaces" by Jan van Neerven. Abstract: We prove that the unit sphere of every infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach space with modulus of convexity $\delta$ contains a $(1+\frac12\delta(\frac23))$-separated sequence.
