Marcelo Knobel

Hola and welcome to another episode of We The Fellows. This is Rabia Garib and I'm still talking to the Eisenhower Fellows of the Multi Nation Program, finding out what all they hope to achieve throughout their 2-month program that takes them across the United States. Today I get the opportunity to have you listen to my friend Marcelo who is the fellow from Brazil. Dr. Marcelo Knobel is an associate professor of physics, executive director of a science museum, and until recently head of the Center for the Development of Creativity at UNICAMP, the Universidade Estadual de Campinas. He also created and coordinates the interactive exhibit NanoAventura, which aims to stimulate curiosity in the sciences among children and has been viewed by students all over Brazil. Marcelo has already done so much for his people back home and I am thrilled to hear about his plans to do even more when he returns. And as all of us wish Marcelo good luck (despite the fact that we are all so jealous that he was able to spend time on an OFFICIAL trip to Epcot Center!), stay tuned for more podcasts. Until then, this is Rabia Garib, logging off!
