Vale Professor Richard Scolyer

Farewell to a truly amazing and inspirational Australian who made a difference on the world stage through his work in pathology and oncology. A remarkable human being who at 59 years of age had so much more to give to science and cancer treatment.
RIP Professor Scolyer, your work is done but that of your colleagues is not.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Brave man, one of our best friends has her stepdaughter aged 21 with the same condition and was on one of the same trial drug programs. Dr Scolyer is a great loss to the community but his work and the ongoing work of his colleagues will improve the lives of others RIP.

Occasionally we get the Australian Of The Year right, Richard was one of those... probably even Aussie of the decade! Champion.

Not many people get to say honestly they left the world a better place, Professor Scolyer was indeed one of those people who can and did. If you get a chance, read the farewell letter he penned in the Herald Sun.

I can't, my old man died from a glioblastoma last year.  Incurable and inoperable.

Sorry for your loss Prof, it's terrible to watch a loved one deteriorate with this condition and feel helpless.
