The institute where I am doing my postdoctoral research received maximum rank in the index of quality from the Ministry of Education. This is the only good thing related to the ministry that I heard this year.
What did you do at FAU, Rob? #USP is my favorite #university in #Brazil.
@jahnke Architecture and Urban Planning, with a nice shake of Industrial Design from my own enjoyment of building things, furniture, bicycles and such.
USP was wonderful. I have also attended another Uni here in Canada, for Technological Education certification.
That's why you speak #portuguese! :D How long did you stay in Brazil?
@jahnke LOL, long enough. Born and raised, left when I couldn't take it anymore, was there until my early 30s.
Good for you, Rob! :D @design_RG
@jahnke A lot of people are leaving the country now too, for similar reasons. I completely understand.
Things look bleak there now. I do visit to see family, but can't stay too long, there's too many memories of past problems, the news are so full of negative facts.
@jahnke Wonderful news, MR. I am an U.S.P. alumnus btw. (FAU)
