Early February Professor Maria Fidela de Lima Navarro, an academic dentist of international distinction and recent President of the International Association for Dental Research, was awarded an Honorary Degree from King’s College London’s Dental Institute. Professor Navarro transformed dental education in Brazil. She was Secretary-General of the University of São Paulo from 2006 to 2010 and Dean of the Bauru School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo, from 2002 to 2005.
