    Tonight, we @mdanderson mourn the loss of Emil Freireich. A giant of modern medicine, his impact on the field of cancer is beyond compare. His wisdom, passion and exacting standards set a bar for all of us to emulate in our work to #EndCancer: bit.ly/2NT4RWl

    Many of us are experiencing heartache over the loss of George Floyd, and feel pain as we witness the plague of racism and intolerance in our country. We stand together @MDAndersonNews to find solutions and to do better for all of humanity. mdanderson.org/newsroom/state…
