It is with great sadness that we record the death of Steve Douglas I New York on 20th February 2016. Steve was almost a founding father of WWRS (now PDRF), an enthusiastic supporter for more than thirty years, and a great ambassador. Only four months ago, at the London Symposium, he was full of plans to introduce our learnings to a wider audience of young researchers. This will be his legacy.

Everyone who has everĀ attended a Symposium will recollect Steve, a larger than life personality, always promoting new ideas. He was unique and we miss him greatly. Dawn M (President)
