In March 2000, a group of informaticians from Boston, MA travelled to Brazil to teach a week-long course on informatics. Our hosts raised the standard of hospitality far higher than we had expected and far higher than we can ever expect to return in kind. I also managed to gain 5 pounds courtesy of extraordinary Brazilian cuisine.
| Our hosts included: Dr. Marivan Santiago Abrahado, Dr. Heimar Marin and Dr. Eduardo Marques |
| The initiative for this course came from Dr. Lucila Ohno-Machado who obtained a Fogarty grant from the National Library of Medicine. Here are some pictures of the two cities we visited (Rio and Sao Paolo) and of the curricular and extra-curricular activities |
