During the last weeks, I travelled to Brazil, where I met professor Augusto Garcia from the Statistical Genetics Lab at Departamento de Genética ESALQ/USP, where I completed my master's.
Feeling excited for what's ahead. 💚
This semester challenged, inspired, and reminded me why I love science. It is not only about what I have been learning, but also the people I met along the way, who inspire me to continue. 🩷
Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research
Mark Longo has just revealed that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation euthanized his cherished pet squirrel, Peanut. This innocent creature was taken from him, where he had lovingly raised it since it was a baby, after its mother got hit by a car.
Mark used the squirrel’s viral popularity to raise funds for animal sanctuaries.
Imagine, without any legal basis like a search warrant, the government barged into his home, stole Peanut, and in just 48 hours, ended the life of this harmless, beloved pet.
This is a wrap. The organizing committee extends heartfelt thanks to all the supporting hands that made this event a tremendous success. We appreciate our sponsors, the Department of Crop Sciences, and all the participants. We look forward to seeing you again next year.

@vanessa_bs@rizbicki@AgenciaFAPESP@govbr Ah entendi. Normalmente dura 48 meses, mas acho que depende do projeto que o pesquisador entra, mas também dá pra prorrogar.
@vanessa_bs@rizbicki@AgenciaFAPESP@govbr De que adianta você ter a estabilidade se na prática o salário não anda de acordo com a inflação? Estabilidade financeira já não é mais praticável para novos docentes no BR.
