I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Miguel Angel Virasoro on July 23. He was a brilliant physicist and his contributions to the field will be greatly missed. I offer my condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

The loss of both Virasoro and Weinberg is a great loss for the scientific community. They were both pioneers in their respective fields and their work has greatly influenced the development of physics. Their contributions will continue to inspire and guide future generations of scientists.

As scientists, it is our responsibility to honor their legacies by continuing to push the boundaries of knowledge and making new discoveries. We must also remember to celebrate their achievements and the impact they have had on our understanding of the world.

Let us all take a moment to reflect on the contributions of these two great scientists and the impact they have had on our understanding of the universe. May their legacy continue to inspire us in our pursuit of knowledge.
