Dr. Prescott was my professor and research mentor during my time as a student at Bryn Mawr. I worked in his laboratory for three years, focusing on the tumor suppressor gene p53 and investigating whether ovarian cancer patients had mutations in this gene. This was my first research experience and it inspired my career in science for the next 25 years. Dr. Prescott was always upbeat and optimistic, encouraging me throughout the various technical challenges I faced.
After Bryn Mawr, I earned my PhD at Yale and am now a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where I study ovarian cancer. Dr. Prescott played a significant role in my development as a cancer researcher. I am truly sorry to hear about this tremendous loss, and I hope you find some comfort in the impact he made. Please feel free to reach out at any time.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of God, family and friends. Please find comfort in the words found at Isaiah 61:1,2.
