Understanding the role of great scientists and how their insights changed knowledge can be a difficult task, but three Brazilian scientific disseminators made it their business to make this path much easier and more enjoyable.
The book “Science Superheroes: 52 Brazilians and Their Research”, published this week, presents a part of Brazilian science with scientists from the mid-19th century to show children and young people (and everyone else interested) that they are there a multitude of discoveries and important contributions. It can also be seen as bait to fall in love with all that science has to offer.
The authors are the biologist Ana Bonassa and the pharmacist-biochemist Laura Marise, both postdocs at USP and creators of the Never Saw 1 Scientist channel, which can be seen on YouTube and on social networks, and the pharmacist-biochemist Renan Araújo, who works with the Drug planning and research works founded the Via Saber dissemination group.
