  • In October, Professor Moacir Godinho Filho was mentioned in the list of the 100,000 most influential scientists in the world. The blog “A Ciência que nos Fazemos” (external link), conducted by a group of biologists and Federal University professors dedicated to educating new scientists and educators, published a study that analysed the world ranking of scientists. According to the blog, this ranking lists the 100,000 top scientists in the world, according to the databases used until 2019. The research was published in the Plos Biology journal on October 16, 2020.
