"The coolest thing is to see them at the beginning of all the work and, over the course of the year, how they manage to grow and start to value scientific knowledge as an increase in their professional training. We know that not all of them will be researchers, but only of planting this little seed and bringing them the knowledge and experience of research is already very enriching".

So, it was very worthwhile to receive this award, which was the recognition of the effort of a month of work", points out the student.
The professor of the Nursing course, Alexandra Noemi Silva, celebrated the third place in the category Conversation Wheels with the work “Students' Perception about the Care of the Body after Death”, developed within the program Cuidar Faz Bem. "These are two very feelings. First, I'm heading up a very inspiring extension project that has only one semester in a health unit in Salvador and I'm very proud because, despite it being only one semester, we've already managed to present a work of such significance at the fair and still win. an award. The students were very happy and so was I."
