JulWithin the framework of the VIII SIBAC, held from June 23 to 26 in San Luis, Maranhão, the Latin American Society of Acarology held a well-deserved tribute ceremony to outstanding Latin American acarologists. On this occasion, tribute was paid to the professional career and training capacity of new acarologists, contributing to the development of Latin American Acarology, to Drs. Carlos Fletchmann and Gilberto de Moraes. Likewise, a posthumous tribute was made to Dr. Anita Hoffmann, as a pioneer of Latin American Acarology.
The celebration began with some emotional words from the current president of the SLA, Eng. Marisa Regonat, and was then followed by Dr. Denise Navia, who gave some heartfelt words to those honored. The presentation of plaques was in charge of Professor Dr. Antonio Carlos Lofego, Dr. Sofia Jiménez, and Dr. Edith Estrada Venegas, who with great respect and affection, highlighted the work of each of the honorees. The plaques were donated by Dr. Ronald Ochoa, whom we thank. The brief ceremony during the opening of the VIII SIBAC was very emotional, being the first time that the SLA has carried out this type of tribute. Dr. Fletchmann had already been honored by the SLA, through visual material available on the Society’s channel. The SLA had the collaboration of the President of the VIII SIBAC, Dr. Esther Acevedo, and its organizing committee.
Below are some videos and photos of the event.
