Abstract

This project, aligned with the RIDC NeuroMat in the field of scientific dissemination, aims to study the use of storytelling techniques in scientific podcasts by producing episodes for the podcast "A Matemática do Cérebro", developed by the RIDC NeuroMat with a focus on the dissemination of scientific processes. The goal is to apply storytelling concepts and methods to complement the interviews conducted on the program, contributing to the understanding and retention of the concepts presented.
