IESP-UERJ expresses its feelings regarding the loss of Candido Mendes de Almeida. Founder of the former IUPERJ, now IESP-UERJ, and of Revista Dados, Candido had a prominent role in Brazilian social sciences in the midst of an authoritarian regime. We also express our solidarity to his family at this painful time.
