The Symposium was a celebration of Roberta’s scientific legacy and the impact of her research on a variety of fields. It was also an homage to her joyful and friendly personality, as it was followed by a small (due to sanitary restrictions) cocktail dinner full of shared memories and the Brazilian music she was so passionate about.
