Manage episode 311622901 series 3158322
Ricardo "Kikas" Correia is a PhD Physicist. Smart work, a never settle for less mentality, and a childlike fascination with what's outside his experience took him from Maputo all the way to Harvard and the in-betweens are nothing less than inspirational. What a guy, what a story, and can you believe he wanted to be a professional footballer! We talk about his incredible journey from "a praceta do rei dos frangos" to the Kirchhausen Lab at Harvard Medical School.
