"I hold two grants for which I applied competitively. I won them, but they are not being paid. One is from the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Promotion, which is completely paralyzed and dismantled. In other words, it has been a year since a single cent from those grants has been received. Well, and that’s the money we use for research, so everything is completely paralyzed. That’s it."

"I am thinking about it, but it isn’t so easy to leave the country. However, the truth is that if you want to continue doing science, the doors are already closing for me within the scientific system, as they are not opening the positions they call career entry. So, if you want to continue doing science, the options are outside."

"The image (of ‘The Eternaut,’) is that no one is saved alone, no one. The individualism of this country can no longer exist. It has to be a matter, a purely collective solution. And here we are, depending on each other, precisely because of this external force that is attacking us. But together we can achieve more."
