Today we remember Minerva Bernardino, a diplomat from the Dominican Republic born #OnThisDay .

In a profession dominated by men, she was one of only 4 women to sign the United Nations Charter in 1945. 👏👏👏👏

And thanks to the brilliant Cancer Grand Challenges team at CRUK for their total support since Mutographs started, as well as wonderful scientific journey with Wellcome Sanger Institute and UC San Diego colleagues (esp Sarah Moody), partners in the 11 countries, and all the great team IARC.

Congrats #CancerGrandChallenges team Mutographs on their paper in nature today!

Showing the power of their mutational epidemiology approach, they uncovered mutational signatures underlying global variance in #KidneyCancer incidence rates.
