RESUMO
Disconcerting environmental problems, for which no solutions exist yet, appear daily. Despite this, many believe countries such as Brazil, biologically rich and not yet belonging to the First World, should be restricted to collecting information. Counteracting this opinion, that precludes rationally influencing the environment, we have sought to better understand the language of nature based on Quantitative Chemo-Biology. This multidisciplinary endeavor tackles a range of issues from basic questions such as the origin of life, to more urgent problems such as mapping the chemical and biological diversity of specific regions. We believe this is the right way to prepare younger generations to deal with the unpredictable future.
