In Memoriam – James Trussell
We are sorry to announce that James Trussell, a prolific researcher in the area of reproductive health, and latterly of Princeton University, and until recently a BSACP Council member, passed away on 26 December 2018 aged 69 years after a brief illness.
Kelly Cleland, one of James’ colleagues at Princeton University, writing to the International Consortium for Emergency Contraception (ICEC), said: “James made innumerable contributions to our collective understanding of contraception, including and especially emergency contraception. To this end, James authored hundreds of articles, testified before the FDA, presented all over the world, and answered hundreds of individual questions from users of the Not-2-Late website. His unwavering commitment to improving knowledge about and access to contraception for women around the world was the hallmark of his long and prolific career. We are profoundly grateful for James’s contributions.”
