Abstract
Brazilian science is under attack. In this manuscript, we will discuss the most recent events that, if not reverted, will make Brazilian science inviable. We urge the scientific community in Brazil and abroad to stand up and resist in defense of more than a century of essential scientific contributions.
Highlights
October 8th, 2021, will be remembered in Brazil by two major catastrophic events: official numbers reported more than six-hundred thousand Coronavirus disease 19 (Covid-19) deaths
On the very same day, the Brazilian parliament approved a proposal of the Federal government reducing in 92% an already insufficient budget for the Ministry of Science & Technology
Such catastrophes were like a “chronicle of a death foretold” and are associated because both are related to the low priority of science and scientific knowledge by the current policies of the Brazilian government
