Elielson Silveira

PhD candidate, on a mission to uncover the secrets of plants through chemistry. Join me as I explore the extraordinary world of plants!

[Elielson Silveira @SilveiraER]

I started my journey in science working with essential oils during my undergrad, and I quickly fell in love with phytochemistry. In my master's, I explored a never-before-studied plant native to Brazil, and now in my PhD, I'm chasing viral resistance in cucurbita pepo! #sciece

🌿 Excited to share our latest review paper on the Folin-Ciocalteu assay and its application in phycology! 📑 Despite its popularity, there's ongoing debate about its accuracy in measuring total phenolic content (TPC).

Phytochemistry is beautiful

[Elielson Silveira @SilveiraER]

@BhawanaNag27 Wow it's absolutely the most beautiful collum I have ever seen

[Elielson Silveira @SilveiraER]

@MEdithCasacchia I just love partitions phases, and also a good beer haha

[Elielson Silveira @SilveiraER]

Curious what's in my plant extract and how it induced resistance against the virus in Cucurbita pepo? So am I! That's why I'm pursuing a PhD to investigate further. Stay tuned for more exciting research on plant extracts and virus resistance. #plantextracts #virusresistance

[Elielson Silveira @SilveiraER]

Just conducted an experiment on Cucurbita pepo plants infected with a virus. Check out these photos! The second plant was treated with my plant extract prior to infection and is looking healthy, while the first plant struggles. Exciting evidence that my extract induces resistance

[Elielson Silveira @SilveiraER]

Today's gonna be a busy day! Spent the whole day at the Biological Institute of São Paulo analyzing my plant extract's virus resistance effects, then off to help in my supervisor's class at USP until 11pm. #researchlife

What a joy to meet Miguel in person at #FEBRACE today! I judged his project online when he was 13, and I was amazed by his passion for science. He's a true little scientist already, and I'm excited to see where his bright future takes him. Keep up the great work, Miguel!

[Elielson Silveira @SilveiraER]

Just had the privilege of serving as a judge at FEBRACE, where I saw the incredible creativity and problem-solving skills of young students in science and technology. It's amazing to see the next generation of innovators and change-makers in action! Really inspiring #FEBRACE

This weekend was all about the manuscript! I didn't let up until after midnight on Sunday, and it was worth it. Today's focus was on describing the mass fragmentation of numerous compounds, and I can finally say I've done it justice. #ScienceWriting

[Elielson Silveira @SilveiraER]

Scientists don't believe in weekends, we only believe in deadlines. And they always seem to be just around the corner. #DataNeverStops #Science
