Marcelo Farina, professor and deputy secretary of the Office of International Relations, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), was nominated affiliated member of The World Academy of Science (TWAS), in a ceremony that happened in Vienna (Austria) on 20 November.
To the professor, the nomination represents a very important international recognition: “Sou de um país em desenvolvimento e, assim como vários colegas, conheço muito bem os inúmeros obstáculos relacionados a fazer pesquisa científica como professor universitário brasileiro. Apesar das dificuldades, seguimos em frente, pois sabemos que o conhecimento científico e tecnológico será crucial na tomada de decisões em situações críticas, como acidentes ambientais, epidemias, mudanças climáticas, etc. É uma pena que muitos, incluindo gestores do dinheiro público, não compreendam que apoiar a ciência é uma questão de sobrevivência“
