Viva is the event where students defend their findings with their peers. The word comes from the Latin "viva voce", which means "by live voice". Today was the Viva of André Luiz Teixeira, and I had the honor to make part of the assessment board. The adviser was Profa. Jane Maria Faulstich de Paiva (UFSCar - Federal University of São Carlos) and was about composites made of polyethylene and industrial residues of expanded polyurethane, showing some outstanding results for this original material. Congratulations!

From 22nd to 24th March it happened the 1st PanPoly (http://www.panpoly.com.br), in Guarujá (SP), and the group was there participating with the oral presentation "Alginate hydrogel as template for metal oxide micro/nanoparticles synthesis: influence of gelation and thermal degradation."

Our student Carolina Estefania Duque Aldana (the one in the right) was selected to get a fellowship and participate in the Summer-Winter COIMBRA-AUGM School, in Mendoza, Argentina. She studied about sustainable agriculture and made a lot of scientific contacts.
