3/4 They ran two Foldscope workshops after which the smaller kids went home with their own microscopes to continue their scientific journey; and with the youths, they had a conversation of how they ended up being scientists (spoiler: by chance, not linearly, and with the help of oh so many people!).

Quantum Biology Institute @quantumbioorg.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

2/4 Clarice, Mateus (a Ph.D. student at École polytechnique) and Paulo (a researcher at Instituto D'Or de Pesquisa e Ensino) "showed and told" what it is to be a scientist.

2/3 In the program: an impromptu design, based on a student's interest, of an experiment to check how hierarchies form in maned wolf communities; how to distinguish fake news from real science; why ChatGPT will not take away scientists' jobs;

Quantum Biology Institute @quantumbioorg.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

2/2 The physicists heard Clarice's take on why magnetic field effects in biology might be driven by quantum sensing happening within proteins. In the cocktail following the talk, she was asked (twice!) if she rapped -- apparently she talks fast 📷 2025.paratyquantum.org/2025/

3/4 This gap strikes at the heart of quantum biology. Without tools that can directly measure quantum effects in living systems, many theoretical ideas remain untested. Building the experimental infrastructure to finally close this gap is central to our mission.

Quantum Biology Institute @quantumbioorg.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

2/4 The Gap Map highlights critical R&D bottlenecks that hold back science, alongside the capabilities and resources needed to address them. QBI is listed under: “Lack of Direct Measurement of Quantum Effects in Biological Systems.”

Quantum Biology Institute @quantumbioorg.bsky.social · 16/09/2025

She ended by recommending her favorite books -- "Life on the Edge" for Quantum Biology (which in Portuguese became "A Vida no Limite: Como o Mundo Quântico se Comporta Quando Ninguém Está Olhando"); but also anything by her favorite Brazilian author, Fernando Sabino.

110

Quantum Biology Institute @quantumbioorg.bsky.social · 16/09/2025

She talked about how quantum physics can inform the life sciences: there's quantum for the biological sciences, but also quantum in biology of course!
