Dr. Paul Plotz Remembered

It is with a heavy heart that the Committee of Concerned Scientists shares the news of the death of one of its co-chairs, Dr. Paul Plotz. Aside from his many achievements in the field of medicine, Dr. Plotz was devoted to the cause of human rights and a major contributor to our organization. He was a kind person who will be greatly missed by all of us who worked with him. We offer our condolences to his loving family.
