The project aims to build narratives about scientific practice from a diary produced during field research by biologist Rodolfo Nascimento. The research will take place in 2024, with an expedition that will collect and identify biological material at various points along the Brazilian coast. The expedition will bring together a multidisciplinary team to describe the functioning of marine biodiversity and its mechanisms.

In partnership with Nathália Cariatti from NCF Produções and Lucas Andrade from Alô, Ciência, the project will also transform the field research into an audio and visual logbook in the form of a podcast and an interactive map, bringing to the public the daily life and work of a Brazilian scientist in the field.

In less than half a century, assisted reproduction has gone from being a “miracle of science” to a diverse menu of services offered to accommodate contemporary life. However, circumventing nature does not happen without consequences. For every family story formed through reproductive medicine, there are just as many involving frustrations, intimate desires, legal disputes, ethical dilemmas, and a market that moves a lot of money. Produced and presented by journalist Nathália Cariatti, “Reinventando a Natureza” (Reinventing Nature) is a narrative documentary podcast that explores how the generation of human life has passed through the laboratory and the unforeseen transformations that this technological advancement has caused.
