#introduction #noxp Sou um Psiquiatra formado no Brasil, que se frustrou com a carreira no país por vários motivos, mas principalmente por corrupção. Deixei a carreira médica para uma carreira científica. Fiz meu #PhD na Universidade de Melbourne na Austrália, voltei para o Brasil em 2018 para encontrar o país em frangalhos, pandemia, depois migrei de vez para os EUA. Atualmente trabalhando na #vcu em #behaviorgenetics e curtindo muito.

#introduction #noxp I am a Brazilian trained Psychiatrist (M.D.), who got frustrated with the career in that country for several reasons, but especially corruption.
Left it for a science career. Had my #PhD at the University of Melbourne in Australia, went back to Brazil in 2018 to find the country in shambles, pandemic, then migrates for good to the US.
Currently working at #vcu in #behaviorgenetics and enjoying a lot.
As hobbies I guess I should list running, and programming in#nimlang.
