Donate today for Japan

Due to the disasters caused by the earthquakes and the tsunami in Japan, Japanese people need your help to relieve the victims situation and rebuild the affected areas.
You can do that today, by donating any amount with Google Crisis Response, a reliable and easy method. I did.

Post-doc scholarship in the state of São Paulo, Brazil

I got surprised when I found out that the Research Agency of the State of São Paulo (FAPESP), in Brazil, have Post-doc scholarships which offer the same net income as post-doc scholarships from Belgium.
A post-doc scholarship from FAPESP is R$ 5,333 per month which is equivalent to EUR 2,271/month as of today (24 March 2010). The main difference is that post-docs in Belgium are tax-payers, while in Brazil it is a non-taxable scholarship.
