Our new lab RECOD now has not only a cool name and logo but also money to finance its first two years of operation. We have just been informed that the Brazilian  sponsoring agency FAPESP has approved our project. The project is coordinated by my post-doc supervisor Prof. Ricardo Torres and was co-authored by Prof. Anderson Rocha, Prof. Helio Pedrini, Prof. Jacques Wainer, Prof. João Cavalcanti, Prof. Siome Goldenstein and me. Prof. Pedrini (our colleague from UNICAMP) and Prof. Cavalcanti (from UFAM) entered not as members of the lab, but as cooperating partners in the project.
