Abstract

Science communication is a challenge faced by scientists that has become more pressing in recent decades. Regarding biological collections, much of the knowledge generated in these museums, in general, is unknown to society. In this work, we report on the scientific dissemination activities carried out by the RB herbarium team over the last two decades, focusing on guided tours carried out in the collection by students and teachers from primary, secondary and higher education.
