Professor Adele E. Clarke, distinguished scholar and leader in the field of Science, Technology, and Medicine Studies (ST&MS), passed away on January 19, 2024, in San Francisco. Her work in women’s health, biomedicalization, and qualitative methodology inspired a generation of students and acolytes. She served as an editorial board member of EASTS from our inception in 2007 through to 2019, during which time she gave enthusiastically of herself in terms of editorship, scholarship, and life, contributing to this journal enormously. This memorial essay was jointly written by Chia-Ling Wu, Wen-Hua Kuo, and Jia-shin Chen, who represented our editorial teams at different times. Professor Clarke will be remembered for her lasting support for EASTS and her sincere, cheerful, and caring attitude, which left a deep impression upon all around her.
─EASTS Editorial Office
Professor Adele E. Clarke was a long-time participant in the life and work of EASTS. Back during the earliest iteration of our editorial committee, associate editor Warwick Anderson recommended Adele join the board. Although initially hesitant, she eventually accepted the invitation and became deeply committed to the journal's mission.
