The University of Coimbra holds for the first time a ceremony to honor the new doctors. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 12.

The ceremony designated as an "investiture" represents a novelty in the institution's academic calendar. The objective is to formally recognize the researchers who obtained the doctoral degree.

The University of Coimbra is one of the oldest higher education institutions in Europe, with centuries of academic tradition. The creation of this ceremony is part of a trend of valuing doctorates and scientific research.

The event will bring together the new doctors of the institution in a celebration that marks the conclusion of their academic journey at the highest level.

Men's health calls for joint attention to symptoms

A survey by the Brazilian Society of Urology (SBU) revealed that 46% of men over 40 only seek medical care when they already have symptoms. The survey, conducted with 1,500 participants, showed that prostate cancer is the urological disease that causes the most fear, cited by 58% of respondents. The Lancet Commission projection estimates a global doubling of prostate cancer cases to 2.9 million, with an 85% increase in deaths to nearly 700,000 by 2040. The investigation of male urinary symptoms should be multifactorial, considering associated diseases, medications, and lifestyle habits, according to guidelines from the European Association of Urology.

Human family tree may need to be rewritten, new study suggests

A new study from Monash University in Australia, published in the American Journal of Biological Anthropology, proposes a profound reformulation of human taxonomy, arguing that species from the Australopithecus and Paranthropus genera should be reclassified and integrated directly into the genus Homo. Led by Dr. Ian Towle, the study argues that the anatomical and behavioral boundaries between these groups are increasingly blurred, as recent discoveries have revealed members of the genus Homo with small brains, while Australopithecus and Paranthropus also used tools and exhibited elaborate behaviors. The researcher concludes that integrating these groups under the umbrella of the genus Homo would offer a more stable and accurate representation of human evolutionary history, which proves to be far more complex and non-linear than the traditional view of straight-line progression.
