| Abstract |
Interview with chemist and geneticist Flávio Lewgoy, who was also an expert criminal and environmental investigator. Lewgoy was at the center of important struggles for human health and environmental quality in Rio Grande do Sul, and was one of the people behind state (1982) and federal (1989) laws governing pesticide use. He believed he had a duty to use scientific knowledge to support his positions on environmental activism and saw this activity as an ethical commitment, a way of paying back society for the education he received in public institutions. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 June 2022.
All research outputs
#3,799,858
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos
#244
of 1,629 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,078
of 421,709 outputs
Outputs of similar age from História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos
#12
of 54 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,629 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,709 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 54 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
