In Memoriam: Harlan Hurwitz, PhD

It is with great sadness that PL Medical mourns the passing of Harlan Hurwitz, PhD.

Harlan was instrumental in setting up PL Medical’s dosimetry laboratory in 2002. Harlan continued to be a Director of Dosimetry at PL Medical until his passing. We will miss his unmatched knowledge in the field of dosimetry, as well as his sense of humor and tweed jackets that he seemed to wear all year.
