    PPGCB Launches Second Stage of the IC Jr 2025 Project

    On Friday, April 11th, the ten Junior Scientific Initiation (IC Jr) students — high school students from public schools in Goiânia who were awarded CNPq scholarships through the PPGCB Scientific Dissemination Fair project — began the second stage of their internship, visiting the laboratories of PPGCB researchers where they will carry out their scientific initiation projects. This laboratory visit phase will continue until May 18th.

    After this period, each student will choose one of the laboratories visited during stage 2. In total, ten laboratories are participating, with one student assigned to each.

    In the third stage, the students will develop their respective research projects, and the results will be presented during the 11th Scientific Dissemination and Science Popularization Fair for Education — an annual event organized by the PPGCB and held in November, alongside CONPEEX (the UFG Teaching, Research and Extension Congress).

    Each year, CNPq supports this initiative by awarding scientific initiation scholarships to high school students. The program is divided into three stages: in the first, selected students take part in the theoretical course "Research Methodology and Scientific Initiation Project Development," taught by PPGCB faculty members over a two-month period.

    In the second stage, students visit the laboratories where they may carry out their projects. Once a laboratory is chosen, the third stage begins, during which the students develop their research in line with the advisor’s research line. At the end, the results are presented during the Fair.

    History of Extension Activities – Portfolio of Actions 2021 to 2024

    The PPGCB Scientific Outreach Exhibition has been bringing science closer to society since 2014! 🚀🔬

    In 2018, the 5th Edition marked a significant expansion, welcoming around 1,000 public school students. Since then, participation has grown with each edition! In 2024, more than 2,000 students and teachers took part. Thanks to partnerships with the Goiânia City Hall and UFG, we expanded our initiatives with projects like "Science Everywhere", "Itinerant Science", and "With Science", reaching even more schools and educators.

    This success is only possible through the joint efforts of researchers, faculty, and students passionate about sharing knowledge! 💡📚

    Pioneering Initiative: PPGCB Theater - Vaccination: Protecting Today, Ensuring Tomorrow

    In 2024, during the 10th edition of the Scientific Dissemination and Popularization Exhibition for Basic Education organized by the PPGCB, a pioneering initiative at the institution was introduced: the use of art, represented by theater, to enhance methods of science communication and popularization in a playful and engaging way. Considering the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of vaccines in eradicating the disease, and the controversies surrounding vaccine denialism, the play is titled “Vaccination: Protecting Today, Ensuring Tomorrow”. It addresses the history of vaccines, from the creation of the first vaccine to the present day, culminating in a final scene that emphasizes how vaccines save lives while debunking myths and fake news propagated during the pandemic, which still negatively affect vaccine uptake among the population.

    Through theater, the initiative aims to facilitate the dissemination of information and understanding of the importance of vaccines for health, especially among elementary and high school students. These young individuals are seen as future citizens who will make critical decisions. By receiving accurate information at this stage of life, they will be better equipped to discern appropriate solutions to social challenges that may arise, relying on science as a trustworthy source for shaping their understanding and decisions.

    The recording of the PPGCB theatrical performance "Vaccination: Protecting Today, Ensuring Tomorrow" is now available on the PPGCB YouTube channel. Visit https://youtu.be/q66-ZoTYVJs?feature=shared and enjoy this pioneering initiative by PPGCB!
