Abstract: e present series was conceived as a set of informally recorded conversations with the best-known and internationally recognized graduates of the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb.e English version of these interviews is now being published by HAZU to make them accessible to a wider readership, including all those who do not understand or read Croatian.e primary goal of this series of dialogues in RAD HAZU is to present and recognize the outstanding alumni of the School of Medicine University of Zagreb, Zagreb,Croatia.We hope that our readers will enjoy reading about the memorable events in the lives of these physician-scientists, their achievements, and scienti c contributions that made them famous worldwide.e emphasis of these discourses will be on the human side of science and medicine.Our goal was to give the interviewees a chance to reminisce about their trials and tribulations as well the happiness and fun they experienced in their lives.In other words, the objective of the interviews is and will be to give our esteemed interlocutors an opportunity to tell their life story in their own words and show us "how they did it" while still keeping their personal and professional lives in balance.Finally, it's a good time to remind you, our readers, of the Latin saying "verba volant scripta manent", which justi es publishing so many written words that otherwise would have been forgotten.By producing these pieces, our purpose was to preserve the informal records of the lives and work of featured physician-scientists; and by transforming their verbal testimonials into written documents, leave a permanent trace of their activities for future generations in the archives of HAZU.
