Singapore Scholarship Interview Questions and Experience

Overview of scholars’ programmes and scholarships for which I went for interviews:

Scholars’ Programmes: 1. National University of Singapore (NUS): University Scholars’ Programme (USP) 2. National Technological University (NTU): CN Yang Scholars’ Programme

Scholarships: 1. Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore Local and Overseas Scholarships (CAAS) (2 rounds) 2. National Technological University: Nanyang Scholarship 3. National University of Singapore: NUS Merit Scholarship (2nd tier; 1st round)

This post has been long overdue but... After my GCE ‘A’ Level a couple years ago, I applied for a number of scholarships and scholars’ programme locally. However, when I was shortlisted for the interviews for these, I realised there were very few platforms on which they actually shared in-depth information about how the interviews are conducted so now that I’m kind of done with all my interviews, I’ve decided to compile everything I went through and share it with you guys. I was actually also just shortlisted for the MOH Healthcare Merit Award / Scholarship interview, but declined to attend it (so I’m sorry to those who were curious to know what the interview would be like) because I’ve decided to enrol into CN Yang Scholars’ Programme. I’ll give you a breakdown of the reasons why in a bit. All right, enough rambling, now it begins!

CAAS Scholarship Interview

Result: Not offered (honestly because I did ZERO preparation for the actual interview lol halp)

There were two rounds of interviews for this scholarship. The first involved something like a ‘roleplay’ where we discussed how we would solve a simulated issue. I passed this round. Honestly, just speak up and try to ‘put yourself out there’ more, so that the interviewer / observer can hear your opinions better and ‘get to know you’ more easily.

The second round of interview is way more formal, with a panel including about 4 management/executive-level guys. I’m pretty sure one of the Directors was there. Since I did not pass this round, I won’t share my answers back then, but I think the trick is to really read up on Singaporean current affairs beforehand, read some opinion pieces (maybe from the newspapers forums), and know about CAAS well!!

The Interview Questions:

1. Tell us about yourself. 2. What are some of your strengths and weaknesses? 3. What do you know about CAAS?

4. Do you think females should also partake in NS? --> I answered this question very poorly (I think), but the interviewer then told me that I could’ve said something like... ‘females also serve the country in different ways, such as in the public sector, in their daily contributions to the workforce and even taking care of their children and their families for the future...and military / NS is not the only way one can contribute to Singapore’s society’

I can’t really recall the rest of the questions, but good luck!

NUS USP Interview

Result: Offered Summary of benefits: Basically a programme that entails 2 years of compulsary on-campus living (NOT sponsored accommodation, but simply a requirement of the programme) that focuses on critical thinking skills and nurturing all-rounded thinking regardless of courses pursued; known to be pretty rigorous, involving classes even after ‘lesson hours’ and intensive writing; according to my seniors, this programme really trains your writing skills so it kind of helps in the long run, with writing theses and all that. pretty cool programme imo.

The Interview: this was a pretty chill, casual interview if i’m completely honest. there were 2 interviewers -- a prof of the programme and a USP alumni.

Q: Tell us about yourself, in terms of how your life has been and what got you interested in USP. A: Well, I’d like to think that I have led quite a unique life in that I spent the first 10 years of my life living in Malaysia. And because my entire childhood was spent there close to nature, it shaped my thinking such that I have a greater appreciation for more hands-on and experiential learning. So, even when I came to Singapore for primary education onwards, I was constantly seeking ways to achieve a more balanced, and exciting education path for myself. For instance, in secondary school, I tried my hand in community service, which made me realise my passion for people (etc. etc. etc.); and then in Junior College, I decided to pick up photography because I realised that I was lacking the more ‘artistic’ aspect of life. So I did that, alongside my original interest in community service, which I continued to pursue with my own self-initiated Fundraising projects. Why I’m interested in USP is because I realised that there are multiple tiers to it that allow me to be exposed to a wider variety of knowledge fields and skill sets, and also more abstract and humanities-focused courses even though I’m interested in joining a science course.

Q: You mentioned that you spent the first 10 years of your life in Malaysia, can you tell us more about what you think of the sense of rootedness you have towards Singapore vs Malaysia? A: (I’m assuming this is pretty specific towards my previous answer and probably none of you will be asked this as well so I’ll skip on what I replied; but I gave a pretty neutral answer, saying that I’m thankful towards M’sia for having shaped me as a child to think the way that I do today, and towards S’pore for the opportunities I have had to grow even more as a more mature person etc.)

Q: What was your community service project about and what did you learn from it? A: It was a fundraising project that aimed to raise funds so that the organisation we were working with would be able to continue to sustain its operations, and fulfil its aim of keeping all its programmes free of charge. Because I was the student leader of this project, I was in charge of coordinating recruitment, attendance as well as liaising with managements to host our fundraising events. So through these, I was able to learn how to communicate better with others and negotiate for better terms for my project. Because I was doing this along with exams, and another year-long tuition programme for less fortunate children, I also learnt to manage my stress and the importance of pacing myself so that I would not overwork and burn out.

Q: Speaking of non-profit organisations, what do you think of them in general? A: I feel like ultimately, non-profit organisations are still businesses that require a certain amount of profit and/or revenue to continue sustaining their operations. So, in the end it’s still a lot of communicating with other for-profit businesses to sell their efforts so that they would be sponsored, and so that others would be enticed to give back to the community by helping to sustain the non-profit organisations. My fundraising project was actually able to give me more insight into the behind-the-scenes of running a non-profit organisation, and we realised that even donations had to be audited and checked, and the staff still had to be paid. etc. etc. etc.

Q: What do you think sets you apart from your peers such that you will be able to excel under USP? A: I believe that I have the passion and the drive to keep up with the rigorous programmes and classes at USP. I am also very ambitious, so I will constantly strive to improve myself. Because I’ve always been very receptive to both the sciences and the humanities and have equal appreciation for both, I am also confident in understanding and adapting to the style of USP. I also think that because of my experiences, I will also be able to bring more unique ideas to the table as USP and contribute to more meaningful discussions.

NTU CN Yang Scholars’ Programme Interview

Result: Offered Summary of benefits: Includes the Nanyang Scholarship and guaranteed overseas final year research project (5 to 8 months), guaranteed overseas exchange for one semester, guaranteed four years of stay in NTU halls of residence, opportunities for research attachment from Year One onwards, opportunities to attend an international conference with full subsidy, opportunities to meet top leading scientists and academics, opportunities for PhD study at NTU or Joint PhD with partner university (Minimum CGPA of 4.00 for application of a scholarship from NTU)

The Interview: again, a pretty chill, pretty brief interview. there was only 1 interviewer.

Q: Tell me briefly about yourself. A: (summarised achievements + passions/interests)

Q: Do you intend to do a PhD after you graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree? A: Yes, because........ (just talk about furthering your passions and a PhD honing new skills...)

To be honest, the rest of the interview was mostly the interviewer explaining what the scholarship and scholars’ programme would entail. It was quite an easy breezy interview.

NTU Nanyang Scholarship Interview (under SCBE)

As my first-choice course was Chemical Engineering, naturally I had my Nanyang Scholarship interview under the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (SCBE), with the Academic Chair and an administrative staff as the interviewers.

Result: Offered along with ADDITIONAL LEAD AWARD Summary of Nanyang Scholarship benefits: Full coverage of subsidised tuition fees (after Tuition Grant), Living allowance of S$6,500 per academic year, Accommodation allowance of up to S$2,000 per academic year (Applicable to scholarship holders who reside in NTU hostels only), Travel grant of S$5,000 for an overseas programme (one-off), Computer allowance of S$1,750 (one-off)

Summary of LEAD Award benefits: can expect up to SGD$6,000 reward in the form of one of the following four options: (1) $1,500 cash award per semester (max 4 semesters); or (2) Overseas Internship for 2 months at MIT or other world renowned overseas laboratories for research; or (3) Leadership development/ conference/ workshop; or (4) Overseas study trip

--> Trick: if you ever get such a top-up award, just opt for the cash grant as that’s the easiest to reap the full benefit. You’re better off sourcing for your own internships, as the MIT ones are not guaranteed to be available for your cohort, or there might be more administrative procedures for that.

The Interview:

Q: Tell me about yourself. A: (summarised achievements + passions/interests) -- you can talk a little bit about why you chose to study your course of choice

Q: Tell me more about your leadership positions in JC and secondary school. A: (again, summarise your achievements - phrase them in such a way that you end with a positive result that YOU helped to achieve)

More follow-up questions about past work experiences...honestly, just answer from your heart and be truthful. They don’t bite.

Afterwards, they pretty much just started telling me about the scholarship and how I can benefit from it. Following that, they offered me the LEAD Award top-up, which I did NOT see coming but was very flattered by.

NUS Merit Award Interview (under Faculty of Science, Pharmacy)

Result: Offered Merit Award (2nd tier) Summary of benefits: Tuition fees (after MOE Tuition Grant subsidy), S$6,000 annual living allowance, S$2,000 one-time computer allowance upon enrolment, Guaranteed an offer of a 1-semester Student Exchange Programme (SEP) with one of NUS’ overseas partner universities, Guaranteed offers of on-campus accommodation for the first 2 years of undergraduate studies, provided the Scholar submits a complete hostel admission application every year within the prescribed application periods, and fulfils NUS’s eligibility criteria for NUS on-campus accommodation.

The Interview:

I have to say that this was one of my worst interview experiences. The questions were pretty standard at first, asking about (again) yourself, your past experiences, why you chose your course of study. But after a while it took a dark turn. So, by this point I’d already been accepted into the Pharmacy course, so I was merely interviewing for the scholarship and NOT the course. Yet, the interviewer (one of 3 in the panel) started to bombard me with questions about why I got a B in A Level Chemistry (FYI: I had all A’s and a B in H2 Chem), what went wrong (his words, not mine), why I deserved to be given a scholarship IN SPITE OF THE ‘B’, what I will do to overcome this stupid shortcoming...... blah blah blah EXTREMELY TERRIBLE AND ELITIST INTERVIEWER.

But again, that was my experience. I could’ve just gotten a really mean interviewer. Just go in with an open mind. But I left the interview feeling really looked down on and...shamed. Which is sad because now that I am way past that, I wish I had gone back in and told him that grades are not what make a person.

And with that, we have come to the end of this reeeeeeally long (and overdue) post.

If any of you guys have anything to ask me about scholarships / scholarship application processes in Singapore, feel free hit me up in the ask box! :) Hehe.

Oh, and if you were curious, I accepted the C N Yang Scholarship + Nanyang Scholarship (with SCBE LEAD Award) in the end. If you would like me to talk more about how I am finding NTU life, how each Scholars’ Programme works, how I am benefitting from my scholarship, and so on, do ask away! (https://studyblxrr.tumblr.com/ask)

PS. For those of you who might be curious, my profile of entry was A’s in H2 Biology, H2 Math, H2 Econs, GP, PW and a B in H2 Chemistry. I was originally from the Raffles IP programme, with experiences in a fundraising CIP project and a year-long tutoring volunteer programme as ‘extra-curricular highlights’.

Meu vício é gente: a fotografia de Vania Toledo

Caio Fernando Abreu e Cazuza

Aquela coisa: Vania Toledo conhecia “todo mundo”. A combinação de uma personalidade carismática, a mente rápida, o humor afiado e a risada inconfundível. Com muito charme e uma Yashica na mão, abriu portas e oportunidades para traçar uma trajetória única e original, em que vida e obra se atravessam, tendo como resultado um recorte comportamental e ousado da cultura e da vida social no Brasil nas décadas de 1970, 80 e 90.

Aos 13 anos, a menina Vania Rosa saiu da cidade de Paracatu (MG) para morar em São Paulo. Os pais contavam que ela descrevia as festas de família com uma riqueza de detalhes que passava completamente despercebida aos olhos dos adultos. Tinha “olhar fotográfico”, como diziam. Aos 15, Vania ganhou sua primeira câmera e, a partir dali, registraria tudo o que lhe interessasse. Ou seja: gente.

Formou-se em ciências sociais, e até os 30 anos considerava sua produção fotográfica apenas um hobby, trabalhando na área de educação da Editora Abril. Foi quando, numa viagem a Londres com o marido, teve tempo para flanar pelas ruas, passeando com a câmera a tiracolo. À noite, no quarto do hotel, revelava o material. Ao final de três meses, espalhou todos os negativos no chão. Veio o estalo: “Vi que aquilo poderia me dar uma felicidade, e que eu poderia fazer daquilo a minha vida. Desci do avião fotógrafa.”

Bob Wolfenson, que era fotógrafo júnior da Abril naquele tempo, conheceu Vania na editora. “Eu a via sempre, tínhamos uma simpatia um pelo outro. E de repente ela se tornou fotógrafa. Num primeiro momento, achei aquilo esquisito: como é que uma pessoa se torna uma coisa para a qual não tem nenhum tipo de formação? Mas, pelo contrário, isso foi uma vantagem, porque ela não era viciada em nada, não aprendeu fórmulas nem composições. A grande coisa da Vania era estetizar a própria vida. Ela era independente e livre. Fotografava o que via, e fazia isso lindamente, porque era muito verdadeiro, sem elucubrações. Era o que era: onde ela estava, era o que fazia”, completa Wolfenson.

Andando pelo circuito USP Maria Antonia-praça Roosevelt, frequentado pela boêmia dos palcos, Vania foi conhecendo o povo do teatro, e começou fotografando (de graça) os atores, que sempre pediam material para divulgação das peças. Teatro que ela sempre amou, e que chegou a fazer com Eugenio Kusnet e Ruth Escobar (mas que teve de preterir pelo vestibular, segundo dizia).

Com Luiz Sérgio Toledo, formava um casal badalado. Ele, cirurgião plástico, ela, em seus 30 anos, extrovertida, comunicativa, ligada no 220: uma locomotiva, para usar uma gíria da época. Moravam num sobrado na alameda Casa Branca, que era point, principalmente nos almoços de sábado. “Ela usava um vestido vermelho, salto altíssimo, cabelão”, lembra o amigo Mario Mendes da primeira vez que eles se viram, na redação da Interview. Vania fazia entrevistas e fotos para a revista, e cabia ao então jovem estudante de jornalismo transcrever todo o material.

Vania já era muito amiga de Antonio Bivar, que viria a se tornar parceiro de vida. Ele trabalhava no semanário Aqui São Paulo, e a apresentou para Samuel Wainer, editor e publisher, o primeiro a contratá-la como fotógrafa. O projeto durou um ano (1976-1977). Depois, ela e Bivar foram para a Pop, dirigida por Okky de Souza e com direção de arte de Richard Raillet, que depois se associou com Claudio Schleder na Interview. Foi assim que todos se conheceram.

Marília Pêra

Vania pegava cada vez mais gosto pela nova profissão, admirando David Bailey, George Platt Lynes e, sobretudo, Richard Avedon. Luiz Sérgio também gostava de fotografar, e eles costumavam comprar revistas técnicas americanas, com indicações de fotografia e equipamentos. Ele traduzia as matérias para que ela aprendesse mais de técnica. Luz de estúdio, ela conta, foi aprendendo ao fotografar teatro.

“Salto alto, bolsa, era muita coisa”, conta Mario Mendes. Então ela começou a sair com uma maquininha autofocus. “Lá vem a Vania com a Nhá Chica dela”, assim batizou Gilberto Gil a clássica Yashica. “Aí começou o grande lance. E quem ela não conhecia passou a conhecer”, resume Mario.

“Ela usava câmeras sem muitos recursos, pequenas, sem grandes técnicas, mas participava da cena underground de São Paulo e do Rio. A vida passando na frente dela, e ela fotografando tudo. E o que dava relevância à sua produção, primeiro, era ela estar na hora certa, no lugar certo, e com um olhar muito crítico: tinha uma língua feriníssima, e isso se transportou para o trabalho também. As fotos têm um olhar cínico, crítico, às vezes enaltecedor também, porque ela gostava de muita gente e era gostada por muita gente”, relembra Bob Wolfenson. “Ela flagrava as pessoas, e as pessoas adoravam! E entregavam para a Vania o que não davam para ninguém”, confirma Mario Mendes.

Vieram os retratos de artistas, da música brasileira, do rock, e Vania virava a capista oficial de um momento áureo da indústria fonográfica no país. Com tantos portraits em curso, ela precisava ter um lugar só dela, e assim surgiu o estúdio da alameda Campinas com a Lorena, que também virou um babado forte.

“Em tudo o que interessava ela estava presente, e era única em fazer esse tipo de foto, em pegar aquela vibe. Foi a cronista visual de uma época, era a cara de toda uma trupe que fez e aconteceu, quando a noite era embalada não por drogas sintéticas, tinha uma purpurina maior no ar…”, conta Joyce Pascowitch.

Lá por 1978-79, Vania e Luiz Sérgio fizeram uma viagem a Nova York, e lá foram recebidos por um amigo que tinha virado “mordomo” da família Newhouse, dona da editora Condé Nast. E ele conhecia “todo mundo”.“Foi assim que eles foram ao Studio 54, e ela fez aquelas fotos”, revela Mario Mendes. Truman Capote, Andy Warhol… Esse material trouxe uma enorme visibilidade para Vania, na melhor tradição de nomes como Ron Galella, Bill Bernstein e Richard E. Aaron.

Em Nova York, Vania se jogou nas festas bafônicas da comunidade gay em Fire Island. Com alma de fotojornalista, não tinha medo nem barreiras. “Ela sempre falava: por que não pode? Tudo pode. Vou lá”, conta Mario.

“Meu vício é gente. Gente atuante, libertária, gente que produz e faz arte, que gosta de viver como eu. Por isso ou por aquilo, sempre fotografei pessoas assim, com esse perfil”, contou Vania, por ocasião de uma exposição no Museu da Diversidade, em São Paulo, realizada em 2018 com curadoria de Diógenes Moura. “Sou contra tudo o que é muito correto, muito confortável. Minha zona de conforto é a interrogação, é a procura eterna pelo novo”, conclui.

A vivência e o trânsito de Vania no underground gay naturalmente aparecem em seu trabalho. Ela tinha muitas amigas maquiadoras, dentre elas a poderosa e absoluta Danton, que além de garantir que ela estivesse sempre linda em todas as festas e fervos de discotecas, como a lendária Aquarius e o Gallery, templos do jet-set nacional, proporcionava passe livre para ambientes ainda mais restritos, como os lendários shows da boate Medieval, bas-fond na Augusta próximo à Paulista, com seus espetáculos inspirados nos cabarés franceses, cheios de pompa e glamour. Lá, Vania entrava nos camarins e fotografava tudo, absolutamente pioneira. Estabelecia com seus personagens uma relação de confiança e cumplicidade, essencial para o registro de situações tão corriqueiras quanto grandiosas e fugazes.

Cida Costa para a revista Playboy

“Na série da noite paulistana era, e é, por dentro de cada uma de suas imagens que cada um de nós poderia cair, sem lenço, sem documento, longe do perverso mundo globalizado e do politicamente correto infame dos frágeis dias atuais”, diz o curador e escritor Diógenes Moura.

“O mais legal de seu legado foi a afinidade que ela conquistava com as pessoas, obtendo um momento particular, às vezes algo tão íntimo. Hoje não se consegue mais isso, o mundo está tão careta. Perdeu-se muito da espontaneidade também. Hoje, ou as pessoas são superexpostas ou se saca uma câmera e a pessoa logo fica apavorada. O carisma dela quebrava qualquer gelo, a risada…”, conta seu filho, Juliano Toledo, também fotógrafo (e DJ), que se identifica, sobretudo, com a cobertura da vida noturna que a mãe produziu.

Foto da série Homens

Foi naquele verão de 1979-80 que as mulheres começaram a fazer topless no Rio. Era a época da novela Água viva. “Os rapazes, por sua vez, começaram a fazer ‘botomless’, a Vania achou aquilo engraçado, e teve uma ideia”, conta Mario Mendes, sobre a origem de um dos mais famosos trabalhos da fotógrafa, a série Homens (1980). “Em plena ditadura, uma mulher resolve fazer um livro de homens nus. E, por acaso, ela era amiga de homens que toparam!”, comenta Mario. São 34 fotos, retratando anônimos e personalidades, como Caetano Veloso, Roberto de Carvalho, Nuno Leal Maia e Ney Matogrosso (Vania conhecia Ney antes do sucesso dos Secos & Molhados, do teatro. Depois, na Interview, Vania fez a entrevista e as fotos da edição com a famosa chamada “Vim homossexual nessa encarnação para cumprir uma missão”. Depois, ela e o editor Claudio Schleder tiveram que ir dar explicações na Polícia Federal.)

Sempre curiosa, Vania achava um absurdo que não coubesse às mulheres o direito de conhecer outros corpos masculinos que não os dos maridos e filhos. Ligando para esses amigos, perguntava onde eles mais se sentiriam à vontade para posar. E eles aparecem em seus quartos, camas, piscinas e chuveiros. Fez tudo em 15 dias. Foi um estrondo. O lançamento, badaladíssimo, foi no Spazio Pirandello, onde a intelligentsia paulistana se encontrava então, na região hoje conhecida como Baixo Augusta.

Ela chegava com sua Brasília, e o agito começava. Aos sábados, por exemplo, o programa da turma naqueles tempos em São Paulo era frequentar lojas de discos do centro, como a Wop Bop, na galeria Califórnia, e a Bossa Nova, bem ao lado, na Barão de Itapetininga. Depois almoçar no Bar Brahma e seguir para a casa de algum amigo.

Pelé

Entre 1984 e 86, o lugar obrigatório da cidade era o clube Madame Satã. Recém-separada, Vania frequentava a casa de segunda a sábado – porque aos domingos não abria. Lá circulavam punks, jornalistas, roqueiros, como Julio Barroso e sua turma, em suma, toda a modernidade paulistana. E onde certa vez Vania foi de pijama e trench coat. E foi no Val Improviso, fundamento do under gay daqueles tempos, na Amaral Gurgel, que ela levou Cazuza para conhecer a noite da cidade. Vania era rueira.

Certa vez, já em 1990, foi ao Cineclube Elétrico, uma sala cult na Augusta. Terminada a sessão, atravessou a rua e foi até o orelhão telefonar para o Bivar, que tinha ficado de assistir a um filme na casa dela, na praça Buenos Aires. Foi ao cruzar de volta, naquele cantinho onde ficava o cinema, que se deu o atropelamento brutal que a colocou num coma profundo, entre a vida e a morte. Desenganada pelos médicos, foi dito que, caso ela sobrevivesse, jamais andaria de novo. Foram 22 fraturas, só da cintura para baixo, e mais de dois meses inconsciente. Enquanto isso, seus amigos da música, como os Titãs e Rita Lee, faziam shows. E artistas plásticos, como Fernando Zarif, leiloavam obras para pagar a conta do Sírio-Libanês. Ao acordar, Vania se emocionou. “Foi a maior prova de amor, ela nem sabia que as pessoas gostavam tanto dela”, conta Juliano Toledo.

Um ano de recuperação, meses e meses de todo tipo de fisioterapia. Ela teve de reaprender a falar, a andar (adotou a partir daí a bengala que se tornou marca registrada), a mexer os dedos e a fotografar.

Foi o lançamento do livro Personagens femininos (iniciado antes do acidente), que a tirou, literalmente, da cadeira de rodas, em 1991. “Decidi chamar atrizes e, para cada atriz, perguntei qual personagem ela tinha vontade de fazer.” Com isso, queria, principalmente, entender sua relação com as mulheres, já que sempre transitou melhor entre os homens (suas grandes amigas foram Clô Orozco e Regina Valadares). O resultado foi histórico e colocou Vania no panteão dos grandes. Retratou Fernanda Montenegro, Regina Casé, Henriqueta Brieba, Giulia Gam, Marília Pêra e Dercy Gonçalves, a mais difícil de todas para ser dirigida, segundo Vania.

O episódio marcou também o fim da fase notívaga da fotógrafa.Fazia em estúdio até as fotos de teatro, os retratos, e deixava as cenas de palco a cargo de sua assistente na época, Claudia Guimarães. “A gente se divertia muito, ria muito, e o estúdio era maravilhoso, ali na Vila Nova Conceição, que ainda não era essa coisa de hoje. Era mais conhecida como travessa da Santo Amaro”, conta a fotógrafa. Claudia começava, ela mesma, uma trajetória de fotos da vida noturna de São Paulo, e as duas tinham uma excelente dinâmica. “Foi a primeira vez que alguém me aceitou como assistente. O Estúdio Abril não me aceitou, por eu ser mulher, e outros fotógrafos importantes também não me aceitaram, pelo mesmo motivo. A Vania não, ela adorava, e a gente trocava muito. Eu fiquei fascinada pelo ambiente, arrumava tudo, limpei tudo, e vi as revistas, a Interview dos anos 1970, com as capas maravilhosas. Aprendi a fazer luz, a mexer nos equipamentos, com ela”, conta. O estúdio se chamava Salto Alto.

Virgínia Punko

A produção desses mais de 30 anos de trabalho foi compilada por Vania, pelo curador Diógenes Moura, pelo filho, Juliano, e pelo amigo Mario Mendes, num projeto iniciado há cerca de 18 meses, para virar um livro e uma exposição, com nome provisório de Caixa preta, uma autobiografia fotográfica, segundo ela. Foram cinco meses debruçados sobre o material: 1.400 folhas de contatos, abertas uma por uma, e incontáveis cromos, 600 imagens editadas, quase tudo em preto e branco. Depois de muitas sessões de entrevistas com Vania por Mario Mendes, para um texto na primeira pessoa, ainda faltava coisa. “O projeto parou no ano passado, íamos retomar este ano, quando o mundo acabou”, conta o jornalista.

“Vania estava ansiosa com o livro, e o isolamento a estava torturando. Essa coisa de encontrar, de sair, de ver os amigos, andar na rua, era vital para ela, que não parava, e de repente se viu fechada em casa”, conta Mario. Dia 5 de julho, a morte de seu mentor e cúmplice, Antonio Bivar, levado pela covid-19, foi um duríssimo golpe. “Ela se fazia de forte. Conversamos na sexta-feira, ela falou do Bivar aos prantos, mas acabamos dando risada quando ela disse que ele era um ‘punk velho’. Nossa cara. Do Bivar, inclusive”, ele relata. Na segunda-feira seguinte, ela foi internada com infecção urinária, e seu quadro piorou rapidamente. Na UTI, seu coração não resistiu, e ela morreu na madrugada de quarta para quinta, 16 de julho, aos 72 anos. O livro, agora, será póstumo.

“Ela era colecionadora de muita coisa: em casa, tem muitos armários de roupas, distribuídos em três quartos, com coleções de chapéus, de bengalas, pesos de papel, e tanto livro, que o IMS já até tinha comprado uma parte, e já tem lá uma coleção dela”, conta Juliano, o filho que era seu grande amor. Em seu aniversário, agora em março, antes de ter início a quarentena em São Paulo, ele tocou no clube Jerome e levou a mãe. O DJ Felipe Venancio colocou uma cadeira atrás da cabine, e ela ficou lá sentadinha, a noite toda. “Ao final, todo mundo aplaudiu, foi muito bonito. A última balada dela foi comigo.” ///

The elemental analysis market is segmented on the basis of types, technologies, applications and regions. New international GMP and GDP certification ‘EXCiPACT’ for pharmaceutical excipients (North America & Europe), growing food safety concerns, increasing life science R&D spending, increasing use of X-ray fluorescence in medical research, and rise in use of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) to aid the drug safety process are major factors driving this market. In addition, the market has witnessed various technological advancements to meet the needs of biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies; food and beverage, chemical, semiconductor industries; and environmental testing. These advancements have led to the development of Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry (ICP), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Moreover, emerging market across India and China, increasing demand from applied markets, and requirement to comply with the revised chapter 231 of the U.S. Pharmacopeia are likely to create opportunities for market growth. The high growth in India and China can be attributed to China’s focus on innovative cancer treatments aided by ICP-AES, strategic expansions by players in China, use of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) in traditional Chinese medicines, increasing focus on soil testing and food security, and training programs to increase awareness of elemental analysis in India.

However, high costs of elemental analyzers are likely to pose as a restraint for the growth of the market. Need for highly skilled professionals acts as a challenge in the market.

https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/elemental-analysis-market-111819198.html

The global market is segmented on the basis of types, technologies, and applications. By type, the market is categorized into organic elemental analysis and inorganic elemental analysis. In 2015, the inorganic elemental analysis segment is estimated to account for the larger share of the market. This segment is expected to grow at the higher rate during the forecast period.

On the basis of technology, the market is divided into destructive and nondestructive technologies. In 2015, the nondestructive technologies segment is likely to account for the larger share of the market. However, the destructive technologies segment is expected to grow at the higher rate from 2015 to 2020. The market, by application, is segmented into life sciences, food and beverage testing, environment testing, geology, and other application areas. In 2015, the environment testing segment is poised to account for the largest share of the market.
