It's really difficult to
break stereotypes, especially for developing countries, like Brazil. If you
mention its name around the world they are immediately associated with:
sports, music, beaches, rum and "País do Carnaval". If you ask to someone in the streets of Germany or
China about personalities from Brazil, they will mention Pelé. Breaking
stereotypes is a task for years or centuries but we are going in the right
direction.

Last
December I attended to the 2nd Proteomics Meeting of the Brazilian Proteomics
Society jointly with the 2nd Pan American HUPO Meeting in Hotel Ferradura/
Ferradura Resort, Búzios, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The venue was gorgeous,
mountains close to a small bay that offers calm, clear waters and the open sea. We arrived after 2 hours by car from Rio international airport. My plans, give a talk about PRIDE and ProteomeXchange but more than that, my talk was about "if we really need to share our proteomics data".
