Abstract

This project, which is aligned with the area of scientific dissemination at RIDC NeuroMat, aims to study and produce videos with interviews intertwining biography and scientific activity, focusing on the dissemination of scientific processes. The intention is that these testimonies produce a reflection and practice of the memory of Science, specifically in NeuroMat, giving voice to researchers of great importance within the laboratory and allowing their memory to be shared with all members of the scientific community and with the general public.
