tweets

I tweet a lot about what I read and watch. No personal stuff. Follow me

I blog about the same things that I tweet, just in more depth, but never longer than 1000 words. And I translate content from my science communication book.

podcast

There has never been a better time to live and whatever the metrics you choose, the world is on its ‘all time high’. So why living seems sometimes so hard? Here I ask people in the forefront of building the future their reasons to be optimistic and the challenges they see ahead.

résumé


My evolutionary journey in 10 tweets

Born and raised in Rio

I was born and raised in #RioDeJaneiro and that in part defines who I am. My super power is to balance the EXTREME #flexibility of #Brazilians to be a competitive ADVANTAGE in #creativity, not a flaw. 1/10

Became a Scientist

I became a #Marine #biologist when I graduated @UFRJ, but became a #Scientist when I understood that #Science happens in BRAIN. The #ScientificMethod (another Super Power) disciplines the MIND. And I learned #Statistics #Informatics #Languages and #Music. 2/10

International network

#Science is GLOBAL and its CRITERIA are UNIVERSAL. After a #PhD in #Biophysics @UFRJ, I worked in #Europe with research groups from 12 countries, became an INTERNATIONAL #Scientist and built my main asset: my #network. 3/10

Career in academia

I became a #professor in #Biophysics @UFRJ, which was exactly what I WANTED. In 15 years I SET up my own research group in #Genes & #Environment relationships, RAISED +USD1M in projects, PUBLISHED +40 articles and SUPERVISED +10 master and PhDs. 4/10

Run a crowdfunding

I’ve written a #Blog for +10 years and a FUN #Book about #men & #women. But it was EXECUTING the 1st #scientific #crowdfunding in #Brazil that I understood: one can to TALK #science in a way that EVERYONE understands, ENJOY and even FUND! 5/10

Created Bio Bureau

I wanted my #PhD thesis to be USEFUL and I used a grant turn it into a PRODUCT. Today @biobureaubio has +10 years, +10 scientists and growing REVENUE. #Biotechnology SOLUTIONS for the challenges of #Sustainable #Development. 6/10

Bitcoin and blockchain

I co-founded #MobileBrain and built the framework for the FASTEST growing #educational #mobile platform in #Brazil in 2012, w/ #neuroscience and EVOLUTIONARY #psychology, w/ +700k users in the 1st year; and #Genecoin, which created #blockchain solutions for #biodiversity. 7/10

Create solutions.

I learned to IDENTIFY challenges, SYNTHESIZE #information, DECIDE, RISK and #create SOLUTIONS. #Modeling #POC #Prototyping #MVP and #Piloting a business. I specialized with @IAGBerkeley in #Customer & #Product Discovery. I became an ASSET. 8/10

Live to 150 years

I’m +50 and I want to LIVE +150 years, which gives the dimension of my #ambition and #willingness to go beyond. I work with #PEOPLE, #companies and #FUNDS to decide, based on SCARCE/UNCERTAIN #Scientific #Evidence, how to build the #future. 10/10

Invest time and know-how

I learned to INVEST my #TIME & #ENERGY in initiatives in which the VALUE that I add turns into #Knowledge, #Revenue and #Equity. I help create #startups that SAVE #atoms by spending #bytes, that are born MULTINATIONAL, connecting COMPETENCES wherever they are. 9/10

It is not about strength. It is about lightness and speed

topics


things that I work, read, write and talk about

biotechnology

Bread, beer and wine are biotechnology. Biotechnology is not difficult and is for everyone. Professionally, develop biotechnology to solve environmental problems. Here, I try to explain biotechnology to everyone, specially in business environment.

biodiversity

I’ve studied biodiversity through the lenses of their genes for many, many years and that gave me a unique perspective about it. Here I try to share this knowledge in a way that help decision makers make better business and research choices involving biodiversity

business

I’ve been a science entrepreneur for more than 10 years now and we are helping large corporations from energy sector to develop biotechnology solutions to recalcitrant problems. Because of that I have a unique perspective on innovation inside corporations and I can talk about science and  business.

bitcoin

Money is the most successful social technology invented by humanity and many of the problems that we face in society that have their origin in the corruption of money. Here I try to explain to people in my network what Bitcoin is and it fixes that

more topics


more things that I think, read, write and talk about

innovation

I discuss, from the scientists perspective, why innovation happens in startups and not in corporations or academia

entrepreneurship

I share with young scientists my experience as an entrepreneur and how it is easier to fit your PhD in your company then vice-versa

creativity

I try to breakdown behavior into criteria that helps creativity and share what me and other people to do remain creative

incentives

the most recent topic of my interest and exploration. I share as I learn.

education

There are too many business models for teaching and not a single one for learning. That is why I’m more interested in learning then teaching

complexity

I’m dazzled by entropy, Bayes theorem, game theory, self-organization, and the origin of Life, so I read and write about these.

science

Science has given us over the last 500 years more than philosophy and religion gave over the last 2000. The scientific method is the best problem solve tool that human kind has developed.

psychology

Or should I say evolutionary psychology, since I’m interested in instincts the biological basis of human behavior
