Peggy Olive who developed a variant of NP Singh’s comet assay to detect DNA breaks, died last December. She was 70.

Olive played a key role in a long-running controversy involving Motorola, Joe Roti Roti, John Moulder and Radiation Research to discredit the Lai-Singh work showing that microwave radiation can be genotoxic (more here.)

Narendra P. Singh, known to friends and colleagues simply as NP, died last December at the age of 69. When his family wrote to me with the news, Singh’s wife asked me not to publish a tribute or an obituary at that time. I honored her request, but now, after a decent interval, I break my silence, in part to make good on a promise and to settle some unfinished business.

Singh was a proud and honest man; he was also gentle and unassuming. “He cannot tell a lie, even a white lie,” Henry Lai, his long-time collaborator at the University of Washington in Seattle, told me years ago. Perhaps most of all, Singh was a meticulous experimentalist who believed in the power of science.
