Paul Berg

I remember Professor Berg as an inspiring, funny, thoughtful and kind educator. For all the awards he later achieved, he was first and foremost a great teacher. I was a math major, one of six women in the class of '78, and as Stanford required math majors to minor in a science (so we might find some useful path forward other than in pure math), I chose biology. It was the early days in bio-math, and I was smitten with population genetics . I nearly went on to get my PhD in the subject, but opted instead for the "easier" path - law and public service. I am forever grateful for my wide ranging experiences at Stanford. I send condolences to the family, as one of the multitude and multiple generations of students whose lives Professor Berg touched. May his memory be a blessing.

Condolences to Professor Berg's family and friends. We must all be thankful for his pioneering research which plays a fundamental role in science's fight to preserve humanity's future.

A brilliant mind whose work as a biochemist has benefited so many. Sincere condolences to the Berg family, so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all as you endure this very difficult time of your loss.

Our deepest condolences to the family. We pray that God continues to strengthen and comfort the family during this difficult time.
