A huge loss to medicine and to the field of Pathology! Professor Richard Scolyer will be remembered for his remarkable contributions to Melanoma research and for his bravery and resilience in battling GBM for three years.

🎙️🗣️🇧🇷Vini Jr: "When my parents wanted to register me at Flamengo youth academy, they had no money but because they wanted me to succeed by all means, my dad asked his friend for a loan and he agreed but on a condition that my mum will clean his house every weekend. My dad got upset and said no but when he told us, my mum didn't hesitate, she went straight to the man's house and cleaned everywhere in order to get the loan so I could register but my dad wasn't buying the idea because he felt insulted and büllied by his own friend but he had no choice because my future was more important than his ego at that time, so he joined my mum to clean his friend's house every weekend until he was able to pay back the money he borrowed. In Brazil many talents are wasted because they don't have money to push their talents. My parents made my dream a reality, they are the real winners ". Yes our parents are the real winners 🏆🥰

“..Ten years from now, if children are still dying of conditions we know how to correct, it will not be because the science wasn’t ready. It will be because we lacked the imagination to build a system worthy of it.
