Parkinson’s Life is an online ‘lifestyle’ magazine for people affected by Parkinson’s disease. Last month NeuroMat's AMPARO initiative was recognized as an outstanding initiative inside Brazil to promote collaboration between people with Parkinson’s and health professionals, in order to face clinical challenges via online lectures to improve the quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s. As an excerpt, we can read: "Although there is a clear deficit regarding specialised Parkinson’s care in our country, I would like to highlight the good research centres in Brazil, such as the AMPARO network, developed in 2016 by the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centre for Neuromathematics.

Em 6 de novembro, o Centro de Pesquisa, Inovação e Difusão em Neuromatemática (CEPID NeuroMat) foi surpreendido por uma campanha difamatória e um abaixo-assinado promovidos pela organização Wiki Educação Brasil contra a Universidade de São Paulo (USP) e o CEPID NeuroMat. O título do abaixo-assinado é: “USP, pare imediatamente de usar a justiça americana para tirar Wiki Brasil do ar!”; o documento está endereçado ao reitor da USP, a sua chefia de gabinete da USP, ao setor de Relações Internacionais da USP e a mim mesmo, enquanto coordenador do CEPID NeuroMat. A campanha e o abaixo-assinado foram difundidos globalmente em redes sociais, em fóruns de discussão, nos projetos Wikimedia e em cartas endereçadas a pesquisadores e militantes pela ciência aberta.
