ANSO、合作交流

Trip to Brazail

From June 23rd to July 8th, our team of four—Gan, Jun, Guangcai, and Shizhen—visited Brazil on a more than 24-hour international flight to promote our ANSO MORATOXA program. We transit at Doha and São Paulo, eventually landing on Rio de Janeiro on the evening of June 24th. This trip was invited by Prof. João and Dr. Yago.  We visited the Biophysics Institute at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Shizhen and Jun demonstrated the setup of the active air sampler. Gan delivered a presentation on “Atmospheric Monitoring of Emerging Contaminants”, which attracted significant attention. We had an in-depth discussion about future cooperation and personnel exchanges, marking a perfect starting point from this visiting. In the next a few days, we took the opportunity to visit Iguazu, Manaus, Brasília, and São Paulo for sample collections. During the weekend, we explored several historic and natural attractions in Brazil, and celebrated Shizhen’s birthday with a joyful gathering at the Iguazu Falls. A memorable trip!
