I took this picture at Nikishicho Park (錦町公園), Sendai, in Spring 2011 weeks after the Great East Japan Earthquake. This area was not affected by the tsunami

Something about me

Well, how do I start it.. I am an arguably shy, most times quiet Brazilian doc, specialized in surgical pathology and diagnostic pathology of cancer.

What else? I graduated med school in 2006, and worked as a clinician in the ER while taking 3 years of medical residency in my specialty.

During that time I taught myself Japanese language, which helped me get my PhD in endocrine pathology and pathology of cancer in Japan in 2014.

My native language is Portuguese. I have studied English since 1995, but still make a mistake or another here and there. I can speak and read Japanese fluently, and can write it reasonably using a computer or a smartphone, but my handwriting is no more than sufferable. I can understand Spanish, if one is kind to speak slowly and uses easy words, and I can read it 80% of the time, but can't really speak it. I can also read French and Italian with about 70% accuracy, but that's as far as it goes.

Not much else to add right now.. but might update something else eventually.
