Studying at graduate level is a privilege and rewarding experience. It is a great opportunity to deepen our understanding on a specific field of interest, to broaden our horizons in life, and to expand our professional and social networks. Having been learning about chemical engineering (since 2005) and involved in teaching (since 2009) and research

I remember the time when I was sitting in a biology class, perhaps in high school, listening to my teacher on the controversial subjects, like theory of evolution, the existence of dinosaurs, or the age of the earth.
