Os objetivos principais dos “Cientistas” são desmistificar ciência e tecnologia e informar. Zago e Zilda, pesquisadores maduros; Vitório, pesquisador preocupado com questões sociais da ciência; Lerdo, o burocrata; Interneto, o estagiário adepto das novas tecnologias; Deriwada, garota boa em matemática, namoradeira e sonhadora; Doutor Ego só enxerga o próprio umbigo; micromundo dos vírus e bactérias; Zildinho, o garoto filho de Zilda; Seu Zé, o faxineiro do laboratório, dono de uma perspicácia turbinada pela sabedoria popular. Mais recentemente, veio o Tio Lerd, que tenta ensinar ciência para crianças mas acaba mesmo aprendendo com elas, e a dupla infanto-juvenil Zé & Zá. Estes são alguns dos personagens que povoam o mundo dos “Cientistas em Quadrinhos”. Nada a ver com estereótipos de cientistas malucos.
“Os Cientistas”, uma série em quadrinhos que nasceu de um intenso trabalho em equipe, começou a ser publicada em 1994 no “Correio Popular” de Campinas. Surfou nas páginas do jornal até o começo de 2002. De lá para cá, pulou para outras mídias.
A partir de 2004 “Os Cientistas” vão para exposição das semanas de C&T promovidas pelo MCT, nas estações do Metrô paulistano. Com passagens memoráveis nas páginas da “Folhinha”, boletim eletrônico “ProScientiae” do Núcleo José Reis/USP e revista eletrônica ComCiência do Labjor/SBPC, “Jornal da UNESP” e boletim “Telescópio” da Estação Ciência da USP, entre outros.

More recently came the Uncle Lerd, derived from Lerdo and a nerd. He tries to teach science fpr children but eventually even learns from them, and double the juvenile Zé & Zá. These are some of the characters who populate the world of "Scientists in Comics." They have nothing to do with stereotypes of mad scientists.
"Scientists" is a comic series that was born from an intense team work, first published in 1994 by "Correio Popular”, a daily journal from Campinas. Surfed the pages of this newspaper until early 2002. Since then, jumped to other media.
