Advances in Brazilian science made the country reach the 13th position in the world scientific production, and, in 2020, o Brazil was responsible for 2.39% of the world scientific production, reaching the 11th position among the countries that most published about COVID-19. The aim of this study was to contribute to and reflect on the issue of health researchers and graduate students in the scenario of COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic highlighted the importance of science in the outcome of public policies and the fragility of the research system in Brazil, where the workforce is mainly composed of graduate students, who often do not have ideal working conditions and are not included in the response plans to global public health emergencies. This text brings a reflection and a questioning on the role of health researchers and graduate students and reinforces the importance of discussing the work of researchers/scientists in a period of great uncertainty in society.
巴西科学的进步使该国在世界科学产出中位居第13位，2020年，巴西的科学产出占全球的2.39%，在发表关于新冠疫情文章最多的国家中排名第11位。本研究的目的是在新冠疫情大流行的背景下，对健康研究人员和研究生的问题做出贡献并进行反思。这场大流行凸显了科学在公共政策成果中的重要性，以及巴西研究系统的脆弱性，巴西的劳动力主要由研究生组成，他们往往没有理想的工作条件，也未被纳入全球突发公共卫生事件的应对计划。本文对健康研究人员和研究生的角色进行了反思和质疑，并强调了在社会充满巨大不确定性的时期讨论研究人员/科学家工作的重要性。
