How many questions fit in a child's head? A selection extracted from a list of more than 400 that intrigue students from the 2nd to the 9th year of public and private schools in the capital and the Metropolitan Region will be answered with the help of students and researchers from the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) and other educational institutions and state research, in the first edition of Pint of Milk in Natal, a new feature of the Pint of Science 2021 program, which will be held virtually on May 17th, 18th and 19th. The broadcasts will be carried out on the channel Pint of Science Online \u2013 Brazil<\/a> on Youtube.<\/span><\/p>

In addition to embarking on children's curiosity, ISD participates in a debate on the first day of the event with the theme <\/span>\u201cThe SUS on everyone's side\u201d, in which the Institute's professor-researcher, Abner Rodrigues, will talk about the project he coordinates to identification of the maternal \u201cnear-miss\u201d in the SUS<\/a>, in partnership with Reginaldo Freitas J\u00fanior, professor-researcher and general director of ISD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The project\u2019s proposal is to use artificial intelligence to correctly identify and predict cases of women who almost die during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum due to serious complications due to bleeding, hypertension or infection, for example \u2013 called \u201cnear miss\u201d . The debate will start at 6 pm and will include the participation of the director of Laboratory of Technological Innovation in Health<\/a> (LAIS\/UFRN), Ricardo Valentim, and Professor of the Department of Demography and Actuarial Sciences (DCAA\/UFRN), Ricardo Ojima. They will address topics such as the health system in times of a pandemic and social public policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Pint of Science<\/b><\/p>

At Pint of Science Natal, professors, researchers and students from Instituto Santos Dumont (ISD), Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte<\/a> (UFRN), and brain institute<\/a> (ICe) prepare a special and diversified program for both adults and children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The result is a well-seasoned menu with doses of neuroscience, technologies applied in public health, entrepreneurship, female protagonism, science and the pandemic, in addition to the novelty that will answer the main questions of the little ones about the scientific world.<\/span><\/p>

Science has become an excellent appetizer in many Brazilian bars since 2015, thanks to the Pint of Science international science festival. In 2021, the edition will be held virtually for the second time because of the pandemic. Instead of the traditional bar table, the public will be able to savor science on YouTube in live debates.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe idea is to promote scientific dissemination and debates around the world. This program does not only happen at Christmas. Each city has promoted initiatives aimed at the event, talking about science,\u201d says professor-researcher at the Santos Dumont Institute and one of the organizers of the Pint of Science Natal, Maria Carolina Gonzalez. \u201cBefore, in bars, the objective was to have relaxed moments and break down the barriers between science and society a little, now we try to bring this idea even if in a virtual way\u201d, he adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
