On October 1st, 2024, the PPGGBM organized the "Genetics on Campus" event in the outdoor area of the Center for Biological Sciences at UFPE.

Graduate students and faculty from PPGGBM, as well as undergraduate students from the Center for Biological Sciences, offered 10 thematic tables with exhibitions and workshops in the fields of Genetics and Molecular Biology for about 200 high school students from three Reference Schools in Recife and municipalities in the metropolitan area.

Best moments of the event!

The PPGGBM's involvement in outreach activities aimed at spreading knowledge in Genetics and Molecular Biology, as well as combating misinformation caused by "Fake News," deserves special mention. Faculty members of PPGGBM have been active in various media (radio, TV, social media), including the "Podcast Transcrição." This activity engages faculty and undergraduate students, and aims to expand discussions on current genetic topics beyond the classroom using simple language. The episodes are broadcast weekly on the UFPE University Radio and are available on https://www.spreaker.com/show/podcast-transcrição, YouTube, Spotify, and other platforms.

 

The dissemination of knowledge in Genetics and Molecular Biology has also been carried out by the Academic League of Genetics, the Academic League of Human Genetics, and the HPV in Focus outreach project, all coordinated by professors from PPGGBM and involving the participation of undergraduate students, as well as graduate students and postdocs affiliated with PPGGBM.
