TheLastWolf Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Dr V Shanta, celebrated oncologist died on the 19th of this month aged 93. Director of the Adyar Cancer Institute, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India she hails from a prestigious Brahmin family where two Nobel Laureates are her grand uncle and... Fck. It. Shanta was born on 11 March 1927, at Mylapore, Chennai, into a distinguished family that included two Nobel Laureates: C.V. Raman (grand uncle) and S. Chandrasekar (uncle).[2][8] She has received the Ramon Magsaysay award, and all the top civilian awards of India excluding the top most one, Bharat Ratna for which she is currently under consideration. Her contributions to cancer research is tremendous but would be a bore, techmed jargon for us laymen. And women too of course. She chose to remain unmarried to dedicate herself to her passion. Kind of Mother Teresa without the converting agenda RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 5 hours ago, SpaceChampion said: Mira Furlan has passed. So tragic, far too early. She brought so much dignity to her role as Delenn. In the first season credits of B5, only Claudia Christian is among the living among the first five actors named. O'Hare, Doyle, Biggs, and now Furlan are gone. And there's Andreas Katsulas, of course, Stephen Furst, Jeff Conaway in later seasons... a cursed cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Per the BBC and other sources, Mira Furlan died of complications from the West Nile Virus. Something like ~130 a year die from that in the US each year, so ... incredibly rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
