In 2018, Evidentia Médica was born out of a need to combat outdated medical practice and inadequate health care. This unique project aims to combat fake news, teach the general population to analyze information critically and teach doctors, in particular, to choose reliable sources of information and integrate this information into clinical practice. Among podcasts, journal clubs, articles and workshops, Evidentia Médica brings us knowledge in the form of fun.
There are 9 countries in the world where Portuguese is an official language; 8 are developing countries, 5 of which belong to the UN list of Least Developed Countries. Cartas com Ciência creates conversations between scientists and students in those countries to mitigate barriers and prejudices associated with higher education and scientific careers. Cartas com Ciência is a spin-off from Native Scientist, inspired by the American programme Letters to a Pre-Scientist. It was officially launched on May 5, 2020, the first World Portuguese Language Day.
