Abstract

The daily tasks of researchers can be overwhelming and not much importance is given to activities related to science communication. By limiting activities of scientific dissemination and outreach, many serious consequences can arise in the academic development and the impact of the research work made. Therefore, it is important to discuss about the role of scientific dissemination and outreach in the generation of knowledge, its application and its impact on society. In this way, the reader can reflect about the role played in the dissemination and outreach of science and on whether they are academically isolated.
