* We honor the memory of researcher Howard Bern who died peacefully in his sleep (Jan 30, 1920 - Jan 3, 2012). He championed the cause of DES research, believing scientists should take their results out of the lab to inform decision-makers. According to the late Pat Cody, Bern's work with Arthur Herbst was essential for understanding the implications of DES exposure. He sincerely cared about those of us affected by DES and we are lucky to have had him working so hard on our behalf!
