In Memoriam Andrea Evers (1967-2025)
It is with profound sadness that we share the news that our President, Professor Andrea Evers, passed away on Monday August 4.
Andrea was a visionary leader, a brilliant scientist, and a compassionate colleague whose work and spirit shaped the very heart of SIPS. Her contributions to placebo research, health psychology, and interdisciplinary science were excellent. But beyond her academic excellence, Andrea embodied a rare model of devotion to both science and happiness. She believed in rigorous investigation as much as she believed in human connection, joy, and wellbeing, and she lived those values fully.
As we begin to process this immense loss, let us take a moment to remember Andrea not only for her remarkable scholarly legacy, but for the generosity, inspiration, and light she brought into our lives.
On behalf of the SIPS Steering Committee,
Luana Colloca, Ben Colagiuri, Charlotte Blease, Przemysław Bąbel, Katja Weimer, Cosima Locher, Andrew Geers
