On March 18, students and faculty from FARMABIO participated in the activity "II FARMABIO VAI NA PRAÇA" (2nd FARMABIO GOES TO THE SQUARE), where students interacted with the public at Praça Batista Campos, presenting and talking to the general public about materials (folders and banners) related to topics such as correct disposal of pharmaceuticals, mercury poisoning and obesity, among others. In this year's edition, the activity included three different phases that foresee the necessary moments of knowledge translation: a first phase, where students developed materials adapted for the target audience on the chosen topic under the coordination of Professor Gabriela Arrifano; a second phase, where students presented the topics and talked to the general public in a supervised manner; and a final phase, where students and faculty collectively exchanged experiences with an emphasis on learning how to adapt scientific knowledge so that it reaches society.

This activity offered annually by the FARMABIO aims to reinforce student training with experiences that give back to society, this training being an important part of the FARMABIO curriculum.
