Voce quer uma career fair?

For the local students and young researchers, and foreign too: anyone interested to have a semi-organized chat about work and life as a physicists that side of the equator?

I know this is what coffee breaks are supposed to be for, but during the presentations we've already shown we need a push to break the ice and start asking questions. We just need to increase a bit the overlap of the wave functions of the young local and foreign population, which could be larger as evidenced by the working groups composition (I think the official language of 'nuclear reactions' is Portuguese).

We wouldn't just feed the ugly beast of "brain drain" sociologist and politologos fear so much; we should also explore the dark side of the force. And I'm sure that, after a few days discussing physics by the sunny and salty Atlantic ocean, a few researchers from the northern side are curious about the possibilities of continuing our careers in such a place. It could be a coffee by the pool after lunch, or we could convince Carlos to provide some churrasco in its BBQ some of evenings. State your wish, if any.
