Media - Talking about fake news and online misinformation
We talked about Fake News and Online misinformation in a school in Brazil. The school has reached out to our project page (instagram.com/projetoquestion_e) and asked us to explain a bit about the "phenomena" to their high-school students. You can watch the video (in PT-BR) on the link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4VfYMHwRs/

This was my 2nd ICSE. This year, due to COVID-19 travel and large gatherings restrictions, the conference was online!

Grace Hopper Celebration 2019 @ Orlando, Florida
Going to Grace Hopper Celebration was an amazing experience. There is a number of workshops and talks we can attend. My favorite one was 5 Ways to Lead When You’re not in Charge , by Jo Miller (jomiller.net). GHC offers opportunities to get to know the job market, by talking directly to companies hiring personnel. The structure of the event is something I have never seen before, and overall, this conference offers so many opportunities to learn, grow, connect, get inspired, make plans and have ideas on how to put them in practice and much more!
