David-Ferreira. Subsequently, as a Fulbright Fellow, Pinto Correia spent the 2014 to 2015 academic year engaged in research at Amherst College in Massachusetts. She held the esteemed position of adjunct professor in Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She also contributed significantly to research as a research associate under Stephen Jay Gould at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University and as a research associate under John Murdoch at Harvard University's Department of History of Science. Moreover, she engaged in scholarly pursuits as a researcher at the Center for Studies in the History of Natural Sciences and Health at the Rocha Cabral Institute. Notably, she shared her insights and knowledge through a weekly column in the Portuguese newspaper Diário de Notícias. 

Clara Pinto Correia, born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1960, boasts a prolific literary career spanning over 50 books of both fiction and non-fiction. Her literary journey commenced with her debut novel "Agrião!" (Watercress) in 1984, swiftly followed by "Adeus, princesa: crime imperfeito" (Farewell Princess) in 1985, which garnered cinematic adaptation in 1992. Much of her non-fiction repertoire delves into biology, a field in which she earned her doctoral degree. Notable among her scientific works is "Ovary of Eve: Egg and Sperm and Preformation" (1997), translated into English, alongside "Return of the Crazy Bird: The Sad, Strange Tale of the Dodo" (2003), which found publication in English. In addition to her literary pursuits, Pinto Correia wears multiple hats as a newspaper columnist, actress, and translator, rendering works such as Flannery O’Connor’s complete stories and "Gulliver’s Travels" into Portuguese. #clarapintocorreia
