Considering his remarkable dedication to the University of São Paulo and relevance of research in Science and Biology Teaching, which provided him with the recognition, also, among Basic Education teachers, we seek, based on the memories shared with us, we get to know their most memorable memories when student from the Natural History course at the former Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Sciences (FFLC) and those from when she became a higher education professor doing her post-graduate course while still working as a university professor. The teacher had a prominent and remarkable role in the unit, contributing to the training of an entire generation of researchers in the area of Science Teaching and to the creation of the successful Teaching Improvement Program (PAE), which still contributes to pedagogical training of graduate students. In addition, she was the first woman to hold the position of manager of the unit and vice-rector of the university. Taking advantage of her vast institutional experience, we also question her about her expectations regarding today’s university.
