O presente artigo consiste no relato e análise da experiência de educação não formal de uma exposição interativa sobre o tema da sustentabilidade, desenvolvida no âmbito do Museu da Vida, da Casa de Oswaldo Cruz, unidade pertencente à Fundação Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz). A exposição denominada "Nós do Mundo" foi concebida, elaborada e visitada no contexto da conferência internacional "RIO + 20" e promoveu amplo debate sobre a questão
ambiental com o público visitante do Museu da Vida, no ano de 2012. O trabalho se delimita no campo da educação não formal em sua relação com o movimento ambientalista e seus debates. Aborda por meio do trabalho da exposição e da reflexão sobre as práticas educativas utilizadas, as variadas possibilidades de se discutir com a sociedade os temas da degradação ambiental de nosso planeta inseparáveis das questões das iniquidades sociais.

Résumé Les Jeunes Apprentis de la Production Culturelle pour la Vulgarisation de Science est un programme éducatif non formelle de la Maison de Oswaldo Cruz et Musée de la Vie dédié aux adolescents étudient dans les écoles publiques ou vivant dans les communités à Manguinhos. Les activités éducatives visent à engager ces jeunes dans une réflexion critique sur les questions pertinentes, telles que la relation entre les expressions culturelles et l'identité; la multiculturalité et la démocratie et l'importance de l'accès à la culture pour améliorer l'éducation et d'encourager la citoyenneté. Pendant le dix mois de participation au programme, les adolescents ont la possibilité d'exercer et d'améliorer leur créativité et leur capacité d'expression à travers des ateliers de production multimédia, de photographie, de la lecture et l'écriture créative, du théâtre, etc., ainsi que l'acquisition de notions et d'expériences sur la planification et la production de des événements et des activités culturelles. Le stage au finale est une phase très importante du processus et qui se passe au Musée de la Vie et aussi dans autres institutions partenaires telles que Manguinhos Park Library. Ces partenariats institutionnels élargir les possibilités de stages pour les participants au programme, mais aussi contribuer pour l'enrichissement des initiatives culturelles locales. La dynamique de l'expression culturelle et sa jouissance dans les communités locales contribue à resserrer les liens sociaux en favorisant la reconnaissance des références partagés et donc le sentiment d'appartenance à la même histoire territoriale et expressions culturelles locales. Ce renforcement des les liens sociaux dans les communités est une étape décisive vers un engagement social plus large, une augmentation de la gouvernance territoriale et le renforcement de la démocratie et de la citoyenneté.

Who is missing? What are the main causes of absences and cancellations of scheduled visits to the Museum of Life? These questions express a long-standing concern and approach issues that affect not only the Museum of Life, but many other science museums in the city of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), according to a survey conducted with professionals from these institutions. This loss of audience is significant in terms of total scheduled visits. Between 2002 and 2011, on average, 3,786 cases of no show were recorded which represents approximately 35% of the total scheduled visits during this period. From these, 1,425 were absences and 2,361 were cancellations. The replacement of these absentees through the scheduling of new groups, it is not that simple since it requires that the group that will not be able to attend to the scheduled visit notifies the museum in advance. According to this study replacement was successful in only 7% of the cases. Understanding the visitor’s problems and the reasons that prevent the visit from happening can help the Museum of Life to adopt strategies to minimize this loss of audience. This survey results indicate that the main issues that cause these absences are of logistical nature, especially those related to transportation of the visiting groups. It was also possible to verify that our visitors are having difficulties in the communication with the Museum. Those results indicate that a review of our processes operating in this area is necessary, particularly in respect to tourism agencies.

Mytella guyanensis Lamarck (1819) and Mytella char- ruana d'Orbigny (1846) are widespread euryhaline bivalves that have become commercially important in Brazil. Despite their importance, how- ever, no genetic information that would be useful to orient governmental policies is available for these species. We analyzed, through allozyme electrophoresis, populations of M. guyanensis and M. charruana along 3,500 km of Brazilian coast.

Mytella guyanensis Lamarck (1819) and Mytella charruana d'Orbigny (1846) are widespread euryhaline bivalves that have become commercially important in Brazil. Despite their importance, however, no genetic information that would be useful to orient governmental policies is available for these species. We analyzed, through allozyme electrophoresis, populations of M. guyanensis and M. charruana along 3,500 km of Brazilian coast. Pairwise comparisons among gene frequencies in M. guyanensis resulted in high levels of pairwise gene identity (I = 0.976 to 0.998). Conversely, significant levels of population structure were found in both M. guyanensis (FST = 0.089) and M. charruana (FST = 0.102). Heterozygosity levels for both species were high (H(e) = 0.090 to 0.134 in M. guyanensis and H(e) = 0.191 to 0.228 in M. charruana). The larger population size of M. charruana could explain, at least partially, the higher levels of genetic variability for this species. These levels of genetic va...
