Abstract
Nancy was born in Manhattan in 1946. As a young girl, she was charmed by books about the teenage detective Nancy Drew and felt the books gave her an indelible enthusiasm for solving mysteries. Nancy graduated from Wellesley College (1968) and received her PhD from Harvard (1973) in social psychology. An APA Fellow, Nancy is one of the most cited scientists (top 0.1%) in the world (2022, Clarivate). She was a pioneer who shaped several key movements, including defining the field of Health Psychology, and deepening global recognition of social determinants of health. She won numerous honors and awards, including the David Rall Medal from the National Academy of Medicine. Nancy died at 77 at her home, on January 4, 2024, surrounded by loving family. The UCSF Center for Health and Community is establishing an annual Nancy Elinor Adler Endowed Lectureship Award for scholars who "illuminate the field of social and health disparities and conduct meaningful interventions.
