摘要：
Burton Singer, elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1994 and the National Academy of Medicine in 2005, died on February 15, 2026, at age 87. Moving seamlessly across statistics, epidemiology, economics, demography, ecology, and public health, his career transcended conventional academic boundaries. He brought the rigor of stochastic process theory to problems ranging from labor market dynamics and demographic change to tropical disease epidemiology, public health policy, and environmental stewardship. He founded the Yale School of Public Health, chaired the National Research Council's Committee on National Statistics, and led tropical disease research governance for the World Health Organization. Yet colleagues recall his adventurous spirit, indefatigable generosity, and irreverent humor as vividly as his accomplishments.
