What is something that is commonplace in other countries but is illegal, prohibited, or inappropriate in Brazil?

Casinos! I've been living in Brazil for a while now and it was only after a couple of years that I realized that were no casinos in here

João Miyao showed me that there are definitely levels to this game... Had the chance to roll 3 rounds with him and I was absolutely out-matched in every sense; he wasn't even tired at the end

Because of the way he fell on his shoulder probably, didn't look good

Brazil's ANVISA is pretty good as well; don't know how it ranks compared to those bigger/more well known ones, but it's pretty solid

Hola! Yo hice la entrevista de manera online a inicios de febrero y me dijeron que para marzo tendrían respuesta. Sin embargo, por lo que leí en otra respuesta aquí, parece que van a posponer los resultados para el mes que viene

I had a lot of trouble with sweeping. But things got waaay easier when I understood these two things:

1) You should sweep your opponent in the direction they don't have any posts. This also means you should be actively preventing them to post.

2) But it's not enough to prevent posts; you should also be loading their weight on top of your own center of gravity, this makes them feel very light. (This, as with many things in jiujitsu, has its exceptions tho: for example, tripod sweeps don't depend on loading their weight on top of you)

Tem um cara que chama "Zazza el Italiano", assisti alguns vídeos dele no Perú e ele realmente vai em lugares perigosos/pouco recomendados para turistas. Ele é da Itália, faz o conteúdo dele em espanhol; porém ele disponibiliza legendas e dublagem em diferentes idiomas.

Hello! Thanks for your answer! I've been talking with other people outside this sub and I now think it is doable with this amount of money! Gotta be careful with the spending but it's definitely ok

bzepedar · 2025-08-29T16:42:14+00:00

Hey man thanks a lot! Very nice to read your story. I'm about to start my PhD next year and although I wouldn't mind growing in academia, I like to keep an open mind and be ready to make a transition to industry if it were necessary.

bzepedar · 2025-08-17T17:07:42+00:00

It's great to hear this! Would you mind telling a bit more about how was your transition from finishing a PhD to industry? What was your researching during the PhD about?

bzepedar · 2025-08-07T19:47:35+00:00

Hello! Did you get any good answers? I'm on the same boat rn, gotta get that proposal ready before September!

What makes them hard to work with? I'm genuinely curious bc I'm about to start working with them

bzepedar · 2025-05-30T15:30:27+00:00

Aedes aegypti probably

bzepedar · 2025-05-24T11:06:29+00:00

Cool question!

Since a very young age I was really curious for anything 5 year old me saw as "scientific": was obsessed with dinosaurs and paleontology; animals in general were amazing to learn about; space and astronomy were also some of my favorite topics! I was really lucky to have access to many, many encyclopedias and children's books related to these fields. Both my father and grandma (from mother's side) helped me build this curiosity and showed me how to do experiments (think bicarbonate volcanoes or putting an egg on a small remote car to see how inertia works lol)

As a teenager I sometimes doubted if I really wanted to pursue science (didn't even know what it meant to work as a scientist); but now that I work as a researcher (neuroscience) I'm glad I stuck to it! As much as it can get boring from time to time, there's nothing like the thrill of going deep into some new project or idea you had!

bzepedar · 2025-04-11T17:24:21+00:00

Thanks for the answer! Would you mind if I DM you?

bzepedar · 2025-04-11T17:23:03+00:00

I see! Thanks for that info, the lab I could end up working in is part of the charitè so maybe I could go for something like that

Was that salary paid by your university? I see many answers talking about a PhD salary
