A Bit of History (backbone of Physics in Brazil)
São Paulo • 1934: University of São Paulo - USP is created, aggregating previously existing independent
schools . • 1936: First graduates in philosophy, mathematics, and social and exact sciences. • Many foreign professors invited to teach at USP Physics: Gleb Wataghin and Giuseppe Occhialini • Some bright students from the Polytechnic School are motivated to start a professional career
in Physics Marcelo Damy de Souza Santos, Paulus Aulus Pompéia and Mário Schönberg • Damy and Pompéia → Cosmic rays Schönberg → Stellar evolution with G. Gamow and S. Chandrasekhar

A Bit of History Rio de Janeiro
• 1920: University of Rio de Janeiro is created, aggregating previously existing independent schools. Reorganized in 1937 to become University of Brazil and later Federal University of Brazil – UFRJ.
• 1933: Bernhard Gross arrives in Rio and starts to carry out experimental research first on cosmic rays and then on electrets.
• The thermo-dielectric effect is discovered by Joaquim da Costa Ribeiro This is considered to be the first relevant result of experimental work in physics entirely
carried out by a Brazilian working in Brazil (UFRJ). • 1949: Brazilian Center for Physics Research, CBPF, is created, as the first institution in Brazil
dedicated to full time research in Physics, by Cesare Lattes and José Leite Lopes • Outstanding international physicists are invited to teach at CBPF, consolidating a tradition of
high caliber physics research Guido Beck, Leon Rosenfeld, and Richard Feynman

A Bit of History
David Bohm
Fleeing from Mccarthyism, David Bohm accepted invitation from Jayme Tiomno and Mario Schönberg to teach at the University of São Paulo.
In spite of the political pressure ( his U.S. Consul passport was confiscated), the Brazilian research agency CNPq explicitly supported his work on the causal theory and funded several research projects around Bohm.
He became a Brazilian citizen (1951) and from USP published one of the papers of the famous series on collective effects with David Pines
Unfortunately the political persecution of “communists” increased also in Brazil and three years later he left to accept a position at Technion, in Israel.

Outreach: 2014 - attracting girls to STEM
1st run – 2 out of 5 are now
undergraduate Physics students And 1 is in Literature.

Bringing girls to STEM
• Particìpants: High School girls from a public school in a poor neighborhood near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (5 in the pilot class).
• Build electric circuits with unconventional materials: play dough, e-textiles, paper and conductive tape, LEDs.
• Coming to UFRJ: workshops, visits to research labs, attending “undergrad week” activities, talks by female researchers
• Close contact with female faculty from Physics Department
