I had the immense pleasure of doing a month long writing residency at the Fondation Brocher in Hermance, Switzerland. Met with very interesting colleagues staying there at the same time, and we enjoyed the views and discovered together that writing is always hard, even in a very inspiring place! 🤓 😀

Esta quinta em Maputo vou ter o prazer de apresentar resultados preliminares e minhas perguntas em aberto para os meus colegas e amigos da Kaleidoscópio, um grupo de investigadores fantásticos em Moçambique!

Vai ser barato revisitar a utopia da saúde socialista moçambicana com eles! Promete!

The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Relations has recently started paying more attention to this diaspora (including by promoting the aforementioned survey), supporting and developing ties with Brazilian Academic Networks (soft-power). Something to be followed in the general anti-academic global tide.

Brazilian universities and funding institutions went through serious political attacks in the previous government. Surveys among the academic diaspora show that most Brazilian scholars left because of the lack of opportunities (mostly a consequence of the political decisions to cut funding).

These inspiring scientists, work in a diversity of disciplines, mostly basic science, and came to Germany through a variety of schemes: Brazilian scholarships, German grants and direct employment. They represent the impressive skills and knowledge production coming from Brazilian public universities

A Biblioteca do Ministério da Saúde de Moçambique está fazendo um excelente e fundamental trabalho de digitalização do seu acervo.

Aos poucos, documentos importantíssimos da história da saúde em Moçambique estão online no site da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde em Português.

Le train direct de jour ne permet pas certaines connexions, on arrive trop tard à Paris. Le train de nuit reglait ce problème et était pratique! Amusez-vous à prendre l’avion, sortir à Rossy ou Orly, faire tout le transport jusqu’aux gares pour prendre un train pour Clermont Frd ou Niort les gars… 😡

The only way to deal with this news is: “Putain de bordel de merde!!!”

@groupe-sncf.com et @info.gouv.fr honte à vous! Les trains étaient pleins! En moins de deux ans j’ai fait cette route plusieurs fois, c’était pratique, les gens croisés étaient ravis de ne pas prendre l’avion. Quel gâchis… 😡
