We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Homer A. Neal, a long-time supporter and founding JSPG Advisory Board member. A dear mentor to many in the science policy community including JSPG's leadership, he contributed decades of leadership and service to the scientific and science policy communities at the University of Michigan, as well as across the United States and around the world. 

​An article about Dr. Neal and his many accomplishments appeared in the American Physical Society News
at this link. In October 2018, JSPG dedicated its 13th volume to Dr. Neal.

We are grieving the loss of Dr. Lewis M. Branscomb, who has long contributed substantially to the science policy community and was a founding member of the JSPG Advisory Board. His leadership in the field is apparent in many contributions through his work at Harvard University, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and appointments in several federal administrations.

An article about Dr. Branscomb's life and career was published in The New York Times in July 2023 and may be found at this link.
