Have you ever been in the middle of a forest? On one side, there's woods. On the other, too. Dense, sparse, in canopies, omnipresent. In the middle of this green mass, there are all sorts of animals. Jaguars, spiders, snakes and some predators. Always silent. On the lookout. Watching who enters and who seeks a way out of the forest.

If there's one word that goes well with sustainable development, it's this one: BIOTECH!

Editor's Note I: “This is a different kind of newsletter. It is news that celebrates the sense of community, the effort for society, love for others, the certainty that when we come together, we can do a lot and do it very well. It is news that celebrates science, life, and Brazil. In this edition, we will remember the 5 years of Covid-19, a painful period in the history of humanity, which unfortunately claimed the lives of more than 7 million people worldwide and 700,000 in Brazil between 2020 and 2023. Let us remember it as a way of renewing our perception of solidarity, overcoming, and affection. Join us in this reflection, full of empathy.”

Take a look at this number: 2,120,000,000. Got it? Do you know what that means!? It's the total number of tons of trash we dump on the planet every year. How cute are we, humans, aren't we?!?
