Events	E-Newsletter - May 2022 In Memoriam REMEMBERING JEFF A. SLOAN, PHD PROFESSOR OF BIOSTATISTICS AND ONCOLOGY, MAYO CLINIC Jeff A. Sloan, PhD, Professor of Biostatistics and Oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, passed away on May 1, 2022. He had been in ill health due to cancer for quite some time and passed away peacefully with his family at his side. At the time of his death, Dr. Sloan held his position at Mayo Clinic since 1995. He was trained as a mathematical statistician, obtaining his doctorate from the University of Manitoba, Canada in 1991. He brought more than 30 years of experience as a clinical trials statistical consultant and researcher to the Alliance, becoming a key leader of the Cancer Control Program. In addition to furthering the work of many others, Dr. Sloan’s research showed that simple single item measures of patient QOL domains can predict duration of survival for cancer patients. This work led to routine incorporation of QOL measures into oncology clinical practice for every patient visit at Mayo. To be around Dr. Sloan was always to be enlightened and entertained! He was cheerful, quirky and quick with the answers that we needed to move research forward. He will be dearly missed. The Alliance extends sincere condolences to Dr. Sloan's family and friends.

Saddened to here of Jeff's passing last year. He was always positive in everything that he did and never had a bad word about anyone. His contribution to academia is quite amazing.
